"I first met Ann on a discussion list 12 years back during the boundary issue. I was impressed with the thoughtful, well researched and balanced answers she provided in an emotionally charged situation. Over the years I have seen the depth of her knowledge and the understanding, compassion and hard work she brings to the table, be it fundraising, advising the district on financial issues, event planning, performing arts, sports, or PTA committees. She works well with parents, teachers, administrators, students, community members and elected officials. FUSD would certainly be richer with Ann on the school board" -- Praveena Raman

"As Past-President of the Parent Teacher's Club at Mission San Jose Elementary School for 2 years, I witnessed first-hand Ann's commitment to the betterment of the school and the children. Ann was always extremely active at the school in many ways. She participated in cultural events, acted as a liaison for parents, and I especially valued her input at PTC meetings. She always offered fresh perspectives on the issues being discussed and was not afraid to voice her concerns. Ann has excellent judgment and the know-how to get things done. She is the most qualified candidate for the School Board." -- Sue Harper, former PTC President, Mission San Jose Elementary School

She has integrity. I support Ann in her candidacy for the FUSD Board." -- Janice Oliver, DDS, 2007-2008 PTA President, Vallejo Mill Elementary Coyote Hills Girl Scout Coordinating Team

You have the heart, the intelligence, and the drive to positively impact the lives of our kids as a FUSD Board Member. I give you my full support."  --Carri Cassidy, parent of FUSD students

"I have known Ann and worked with some of the same activities as her for several years. Where other parents are happy sending a small donation, or other tokens Ann dives in headfirst 100% and gets things done. She is very passionate about everything she does. I will support her without any hesitation. I only have one question - why did you wait so long? Ann is the right candidate at the right time!" --Paul Kelley

"Ann plays such an important role in the enrichment in the lives of Fremont's children. Growing up in Fremont it seemed as though any extracurricular activity I or my sister took part in Ann was behind it in some way. Both her leadership in Girl Scouts and her strong support of children in the arts through Star Struck are just mere examples of her sheer love for Fremont's children and her longing to see them succeed. Now an adult, I look back with amazement at all she has done and continues to do. Ann Crosbie not only has my support but my deepest gratitude." --Jamie Harper

"I have worked with Ann Crosbie recently on the issue of balanced education at Mission San Jose High School. Ann provided a platform for students to express their needs, helped organize their participation at a board meeting and helped bring the important problem facing MSJHS to the administration and board. Her commitment to the students is remarkable. I fully endorse her candidacy." -- Dianne Kavanagh
