Kim Taboada Arzate Kentwood School Board Trustee "Working for our children: In Transparency for Equity and Excellence

A lifelong community member, I have witnessed and experienced the progression of our community. As a graduate of Kentwood Public Schools and parent of the same, I am aware of the diverse experiences of Kentwood Public school students. As a natural leader, I am positioned to serve formally as an advocate for our children, our families, and their success. I grew up in the Kentwood Public School system, attending Meadowlawn and Alexander Hamilton Elementary, Crestwood Middle and received my diploma from EKHS in 1982. Having a long family history in the Kentwood community, I desired to stay in my community, work and raise a family of four children who have all graduated from the same Kentwood schools. The educational journey of each of my children has been the ‘grassroots’ of my dedication and work to be an advocate for all students needing additional tools or resources to receive fair educational and extracurricular opportunities. My children’s educational journeys took diverse paths, covering several areas, including athletics, high academics, skill trade, and supported education. I had to be an advocate for each in different ways, but advocacy was indeed necessary for each of their success. Having a father with literacy challenges made me passionate about providing academic support to countless other students, always pushing them to their fullest potential.

WHEN SCHOLARS GET TO MEET A FEW SPONSORS! 💙💗💜

God has a way of bringing people together! The Elizabeth Griffin sisters happened to be in the Chicago area, and were so excited to have the opportunity to meet one of our 2025 DACS scholars, Timothy James!

As you remember, Timothy graduated in 2026 with his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Alabama A&M University and it truly was a blessing to see the impact of a scholarship come full circle!

To the Elizabeth Griffin sisters, thank you for helping sow seeds of hope and invest in the next generation. And Timothy, keep soaring, keep striving and always remember you are unstoppable! We’re cheering you on as you continue to walk in purpose.

This is what it looks like when generosity meets opportunity and lives are changed!

DACS Services L3C: Honoring God. Sowing Seeds of Hope. Changing Lives. Simply Doing All We Can to Serve.
