Christie Querna

In Christie’s own words: “I am delighted to join the Friends of Seven Board of Directors as the representative of the Spokane Public Schools Board of Directors.The Friends play a pivotal role in the ability of KSPS to provide the type of quality programming that can, and often does, enhance the educational life of our community. As we recognize the importance of the early childhood exposures to learning, the offerings of such programs as Sesame Street and Big Big World may help facilitate those first steps to reading. Families can together enjoy the likes of Nature and Nova, we can hear about the wonderful things happening in our schools with such programs as Powerful Teaching - Powerful Learning and the universal appeal of Masterpiece Theatre and Bill Moyers Journal can keep us all involved. KSPS is a wonderful example of the palette that we can have in our own home to provide the lifetime learning that we all desire. I am delighted to be a part of the Friends board which works to bring more and better offerings to all our communities.”

Christie is currently President of the Board of Directors for Spokane Public Schools. She is a graduate of the University of Washington and a former teacher, public relations writer and freelance author of children’s books. Christie and her husband’s three children are all graduates of Spokane Public Schools. We are so pleased to have Christie join our Friends Board.
