My name is Amanda Stedman Hansen, and I am running a for Frenchtown School Board position. I am a 3rd generation Frenchtown alumnus, and my kids are all students in Frenchtown as well. I was born and raised right here in Frenchtown, and absolutely loved the small town feel and community that Frenchtown emulates. I am a mother to three teenagers; Ryder, Bailey and Landon, whom love Frenchtown and all the wonderful opportunities they have to offer. I met my husband, Mat, in the hallways of Frenchtown High School many years ago. You will see him volunteering to coach or assist in just about every sport there is.
As a family we enjoy summers chasing softball, winters sitting in bleachers at wrestling and basketball, and our falls are consumed with hunting, camping and being outdoors. Our family also loves competing on horses, and usually do a substantial amount of traveling to O-mok-see’s.
I am a tax accountant for a small firm in Tarkio, MT, and I truly strive to be the best I can be. I love the frequent changing landscape, and challenges of the IRS. 😊 Part of this job is discretion and integrity, and keeping a client’s trust. I believe several of my attributes from the job, will be applicable on the board position as well. Most that know me will tell you, I’m extremely hard working, dedicated, and reliable. I like doing things correctly, and with pride.
The reason I decided to run for school board, was because I love this community, that I’ve always called home, and would love the opportunity to give back to the town that raised me. I had some amazing teachers growing up that helped shape me, motivate and encourage me, and molded me into the woman I am today. I would love the opportunity to pay these attributes forward. I would encourage anyone who has questions or concerns to reach out. My hope is to keep Frenchtown that small town community togetherness that makes it so unique, even though the growth in the area is substantial. Keeping lines of communication open is imperative at sustaining the relationships between faculty, school board, community, and most importantly students.
