______ Mrs. Christy Lynes My name is Mrs. Christy Lynes, and I am honored to be nominated to serve on the School Council and would welcome the opportunity to support Coastal Middle School in a meaningful way. I’m a native to Savannah and also a product of the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS). I have two children who are actively involved in SCCPSS, a sixth grader at Coastal Middle School and a tenth grader at Savannah Arts Academy. I have been in the educational field for twenty years as a teacher at May Howard Elementary School. As a parent, I strongly believe that active family involvement plays a key role in a child’s academic and personal success. When families and schools work together, students thrive. If chosen, I look forward to working alongside fellow council members, staff, and families to continue building a positive, inclusive, and high-achieving school culture.

______ Mrs. Marianne Reeves My name is Marianne Reeves and my family and I have been loving living on the islands in Savannah these past 9 years. As a mother of 4, I believe it is essential to be informed and involved with where my children attend school. My oldest daughter had the wonderful experience of attending Coastal Middle School and with the help of great teachers and administrators, went on to Savannah Arts Academy and is graduating with honors this year in May. Now that my 6th grade son attends CMS, I’m committed to being an attentive ear and an honest parental voice of input as needed during School Council meetings
