Hello!

My name is Laurel Fetzer. I am running for the Utah State School Board in District 5. I am a mother of 4 children. I've been a volunteer for over 20 years as my children have progressed through school. Here are some of my volunteer experiences: 

• PTA president/co-president for 3 years at Parkside Elementary 

• 4 years PTA president at Murray High School + 1 year where my husband was the PTA president.

• MHS School Community Council for 4 year 

• A volunteer in every elementary classroom my 4 kids have been in 

• Hillcrest Junior High balloon fundraisers,

• 3 years of President of Renaissance/ Spartan Strong committee- helped run concessions at football and basketball games for 3 years.

• Spartan Strong Speaking Series at Murray High ( Inviting inspirational speakers to speak to students at lunch. Students can work off a U in citizenship.

• Volunteer coordinator for the University of Utah Science and Engineering Fair for Murray City School District 

• Served as a parent on the sex-ed committee for 4 years for Murray City School District   

 

I have my bachelors and masters degrees both from the University of Utah. My BS is in Exercise Physiology with two minors in Math and Chemistry, and a MS in Foods and Nutrition. I am a part time Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Functional Medicine practitioner. I love counseling people to help improve their health with nutrition, exercise, and balanced lifestyle principles.

 

I think that education is at a crossroads. I would like to help keep schools focused on academics, create policies that support teachers, helping them teach the subjects they love and help create policies at the State level that support Utah values.
