Cathy was happy to interview with BBME and share her ideas with us.

Agrees with BBME's
Background:
Mrs. Reyes has two children; one is currently a student in WCSD and the other has graduated. Her children have attended homeschool, private school and public school. She’s seen it all. And after her experience with the public school system and the pandemic waking her up, she realized she HAS to get involved and help our children. She moved to Sparks in 2006. She knows her facts and will come to board meetings well researched and ready to make a difference. She will always fight for our children and is not afraid of the backlash. Mrs. Reyes retired from federal law enforcement after 21 years of service. She was also a K9 handler.
