Connect With Widefield

My husband and I have 3 children who have been in this school district since Pre-K and 1st grade. I have witnessed the challenges and growth of our school district and am part of Connect With Widefield because I believe everyone should be afforded the opportunity to achieve success in their terms. To do that, we must come together to make it happen. I research how to improve society by considering the factors that make society what it is. Research shows that family involvement in the education process impacts the outcome of the student. Because children reflect their environment, involving the community and the resources they offer increases community resilience and support while improving the well-being of families. Each of us has a skill necessary to make this happen. Lets continue this endeavor for our children and future generations.

I'm a former graduate of Widefield School District 3 and I'm proud to have called the District my "home away from home" for the past 27 years. In that time I've served as a teacher, assistant principal, principal, coordinator of educational technology, and director of technology services. Most recently, I was hand selected to spearhead the district's efforts to create and coordinate it's chapter of Family, School, and Community Partnerships. As a member of the superintendent's cabinet, I take pride sharing the continuing efforts and accomplishments of this unique group of parent and community members. 

I'm thrilled to be part of Connect With Widefield, which is dedicated to empowering our community and enriching the lives of our students. Having raised my family here, Widefield is close to my heart. It is deeply meaningful to contribute to the well-being of families here because we're forging a supportive network, fostering collaboration, and planning on providing essential resources to promote the health and prosperity of all members. I urge others to join us in this collective effort to cultivate a stronger, more interconnected community where every individual has the opportunity to thrive. Let's unite to create a lasting, positive impact for generations to come. As a member of Connect with Widefield, I'm proud to listen and respond to the needs of our community and district, working together as one team to make a difference.

My name is Lisa Mawson, I have three daughters, married to my husband for 22 years and moved here in 2022. We were welcomed with open arms in Widefield, and I want to continue to inspire this kind of tradition and community involvement in our district and surrounding areas by inspiring others to join our mission. This holistic approach to raising and educating children goes beyond the classroom walls and kitchen table. Everyone has a skill, hobby, or idea to offer our community and together we can create a space where everyone feels invested in the future of our children, locally and beyond.
