Why I am running
These schools are personal.
I was born and raised here. I went to Saline schools. So did my husband. Two of our three children are sitting in Saline classrooms right now.
So when I say I want these schools to be the best in Michigan, I am not talking about somebody else’s kids. I am talking about mine. And yours.
The part everybody already knows
Kids are more distracted. More anxious. Harder to reach.
Ask a Saline teacher what has changed in the last ten years. You will hear the same answer over and over.
That is not a Saline problem. It is everywhere. But Saline can be the district that actually does something about it — carefully, and without pretending the answer is simple.
That is why I am running.
Four priorities for Saline’s future
Clear commitments. Plain language.
Fewer screens, more focus
Technology should serve learning, not interrupt it. I will push for device rules that protect instructional time and give kids room to actually think.
Less stress, healthier kids
Saline students perform near the top of the state. That is worth protecting. So is their sleep, their mental health, and their childhood. Excellence and well-being are not a trade.
Listening to teachers first
The people in the classroom know what is working. Too often they learn about a decision after it is made. I will ask them before.
Spending that reaches the classroom
Our district adopted a budget projecting a $5.5 million deficit. I will ask for a written plan to close it — in plain English — and measure every big decision against one question: does this reach a child?
A school community that pays attention
Every voice belongs in the room.
Every family brings a different perspective. Afifa starts by paying attention.

Why me
Listen first. Decide second.
I have spent most of my adult life volunteering inside these buildings. The preschool. The lunchroom. The classroom. These days I am usually there with my therapy dog, Ruby, and a line of kids waiting for a turn to read to her.
I do not come to this with an agenda to install. I come to it with a habit — listen first, decide second. Every family in this district deserves to feel heard, whatever they believe. We are all on the same team.
Three seats. Four-year terms.
