So who is Dr. Sheila R. Thomas?

Affectionately known as Dr. Shelia, I've had an amazing career teaching and advocating for the educational needs of parents and children for over 31 years as an elementary school teacher, college professor, and educational trainer and consultant. In addition to my many years spent in the school environment, I now continue to impact the field as a business owner by educating and providing resources for parents that will support their parenting journey.

My passion for education is attributed to my mom's constant encouragement to read and achieve in school. As a little girl, I would play school and teach my dolls. Teaching brings me so much joy!

When my family moved to Lowndes County, we instantly fell in love with the community's beautiful landscape and friendly community. We quickly decided that this was a great place to call home.

My husband Erick and I have rooted ourselves in the community by being active members of our church, involved in several organizations, and participating in various charitable events. We are proud to be the stewards of a Free Little Library at L.A.M.P., where we supply free books for children and adults.

Dr. Sheila Thomas is pursuing a District 1 Lowndes County Board of Education seat to ensure all children in our community receive the resources needed to be successful learners and to graduate from high school. Having a background as an experienced Educator who has a proven track record of successfully increasing student outcomes, the concerns that she plans to address as a School Board Member include:

• Empowering schools to select comprehensive literacy curricula to ensure all students can read, write, and graduate successfully.

• Bridging the gap between parents and schools by allowing parents to have a meaningful voice in school decisions and engage in activities that will help them advocate for their child’s success.

• Elevating equitable pathways to academic success that meets the needs of all teachers and students.

"It is time for a change! I ask for your support so that I can be your voice and make a difference in our community. As your school board member, we will work together to meet the needs of all children.

I firmly believe that together, we CAN work to build a district where students, teachers, parents, and staff will THRIVE!"
