During a recent engaging Brown Bag Lunch on Friday, September 27, students gathered in the CSI Room for an interview with Elaine Freeman, a dedicated member of the Simi Valley Park District Board. With her experience and passion for community engagement, Freeman shares her insights on the importance of public parks and recreational programs.
“Parks are vital for our community’s well-being,” Freeman emphasized. “They provide spaces for recreation, relaxation, and connection among residents.” She highlighted ongoing projects to improve park facilities and expand programs for everyone.
Students took advantage of the opportunity to ask questions, gaining valuable perspectives on how the board prioritizes sustainability and inclusivity in its initiatives. Freeman’s commitment to creating a vibrant community through connections of local parks was evident throughout the conversation.
