Janna Lilly is a lifelong educator who spent her career working to improve the lives of students with disabilities and their families. She concluded her career as Director of Special Education for Austin Independent School District and then as a registered lobbyist for the Texas Council of Administrators for Special Education.

During her career, Janna lobbied states and the federal government for increased public education funding often citing research showing the dramatic benefits of early childhood education. In addition Janna has seen firsthand with her own grandchildren (9!) how early learning can change the trajectory of a child’s life.

Retired here in Pagosa, Janna volunteer tutors struggling readers and enjoys the Colorado lifestyle with her husband, John Thomas.

A vote for Janna, supporting SEEDS, is the best return on an investment you can make for a child, her/his family, your community and the greater economy by supporting quality.

Proceeds from this event go toward keeping tuition affordable for families who attend Seeds or Learning Preschool. Seeds offers a sliding scale tuition to meet families at their income level. Over 50% of the students at Seeds are considered at-risk. They desperately deserve a helping hand in education to succeed in life. Your contributions will allow at-risk children to thrive into adulthood!
