Arna Howard

With a background in editorial work and health coaching, I’m skilled at translating complex ideas into clear, approachable language—whether I’m supporting parents one-on-one or creating resources for wider audiences. I believe strong communication is key to building trust and engagement across the school community. In my current work, I create tailored dietary plans and simplify health information. I’ve supported families and individuals with a wide range of needs and believe that nurturing wellbeing—physical, emotional, and social—is key to helping children thrive both in and out of the classroom. I’d love to explore ways the board can support holistic wellbeing—whether through nutrition education, mental health initiatives, or fostering stronger peer connections. When children feel safe, nourished, and supported, they’re better able to learn, grow, and thrive.
