Birdsong: Vote for Tammy

I’m writing to encourage voters to choose Tamara “Tammy” Nimmo for the Roaring Fork School District Board of Education.
When I brought my twins to kindergarten orientation at Crystal River Elementary School in 2023, Tammy was among the first to welcome me. As PTO president, she assured me that my children would be in very good hands and walked me through how I could support the school with PTO.
For years, she has led CRES fundraisers, organized impactful staff appreciation efforts, asked thoughtful questions during school accountability meetings, and successfully worked to increase parental involvement. I’ve even seen her don a sweaty Ram character suit to cheer on kids running laps — this woman will do whatever it takes to support our public schools!
She loves this community more than anyone I know, and she shows it by serving with humility and dedication. We will be lucky to have her on the school board. Vote for Tammy!
