Statement about the Foundation or Public Education

I am a strong believer in the value of public education, and am honored to serve on the Foundation. I believe that the purpose of education is not only to prepare our students, but to challenge them, and hopefully, to spark an interest. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter if that interest is math, science, literature, drama, music, or sport. What matters is that we trigger their curiosity and passion for learning, striving, and fully engaging with their interests. The Foundation is a tremendous resource for the Twin Falls School district in furthering this goal.

I have four kids in the Twin Falls Public Education. I have seen firsthand the need to support education through their experience as well as people coming to our Dealerships looking for support. Through attending events sponsored by the TF Education Foundation and partnering with them for our annual Goode Gives Back golf scramble we have seen the differences that can be made by caring individuals.

Public education raised me. My family was educated in Twin Falls. I am thankful for the excellent teachers and counselors that I and my family had throughout our years here in Twin Falls. I am truly proud and thankful to all the individuals and community members that helped with the Foundation's beginning project of building Roper Auditorium at Twin Falls High School. It is a testament to all who believe in public education that much can be accomplished when we work together as one.

Why I support public education? Simply…. it’s the right thing to do. Our kids can graduate prepared to go any college in the country with an education available to all. I know many parents in other communities feel that they have to pay for an expensive private school in order for their kids to be successful.
