Dear Pleasanton Community,     
When my peers and I first embarked on this journey to increase student involvement in the governance of our school district, we had no idea just how much of an impact SIAC would have on the PUSD. We   envisioned a council that would support student voice and provide a formalized way for students to lead initiatives aimed at improving the education system. I am grateful for all the support we have received from the schools, the district, and the community to make this vision reality. Though I graduated from Amador in 2018, I enjoy attending  council meetings whenever I'm in town because being a part of SIAC wasone of the most rewarding experiences in my life. My younger peers continue to inspire me, as they are the driving force behind every project and campaign. I truly believe young people have the power to transform their communities, and the PUSD will benefit from SIAC’s work for years to come. This is only the beginning.     
All the best,   
Nicole Zhang
