Letter of support for Tim Greenway
I am writing to express my strong support for Tim Greenway. I have had the privilege of
knowing Tim for many years and can say without hesitation that he is a man of integrity,
dedication, and service.
Tim has consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to our community. He has served
faithfully on many committees within the church, and he has contributed to the growth and
success of our local schools through his work on the county School Board. Tim has given
countless hours of service through his involvement with Lions Club International. In every role,
he brings thoughtful leadership, a strong work ethic, and a genuine desire to make a positive
difference.
Tim is both honest and hardworking, qualities that are the foundation of everything he does. His
actions consistently reflect his values, and he earns the trust and respect of everyone he works
with. Our community is better because of his contributions, and I am confident he will continue
to serve with the same dedication and integrity in whatever capacity he chooses next.

Letter supports Amber Reed for School Board
The single best reason to vote for Amber Reed for Roanoke County School Board is because she
loves kids. As an eight-year educator who has spent seven years in Roanoke City, five of those at
Westside Elementary School, Amber understands the issues students, parents, and educators
face. She understands the issues of poverty and lack of school funding. She understands the
constant changes in education that come from the state and federal government. She knows the
struggles parents and educators face that are not always in their control. She knows how to
motivate students, parents and educators from diverse backgrounds to seek the change needed for
student success. Most importantly, she realizes that student success equates to community
success. When students do well in school, they succeed in life. Successful schools are important
to Amber.
Roanoke County Schools placed number eight in the state last school year with SOL scores;
however, that is not the only measure of student success. Scores alone do not guarantee optimum student/community outcomes. Working to help students find their designated path in life while
honoring their personal interests and talents is true success.
When you vote for Amber, you vote for continued success that does not fit a cookie cutter mold.
You vote for an educator who understands that everyone’s differences combined with the
common goal of student success build a strong community. Voting for Amber is a vote for
educational strength for Roanoke County Schools.

Supports Greenway for School Board
I am writing to express my strong support for Tim Greenway in the upcoming School Board
election. In a time when politics often cloud decision-making, he has remained a steady, honest
voice—always putting Vinton’s students, families, and the future first.
Tim has already made a real difference in Vinton schools, fighting for better funding, supporting
teachers, and ensuring that students have the resources they need to succeed. Tim shows up,
listens, and delivers — not just during campaign season, but year-round.
What sets Tim apart is his commitment to serving all members of the community, not just a
political side.
Tim Greenway will not bow to pressure and will not bend to partisan politics. He puts the people
of this community first— not party agendas, not special interests. That kind of independent,
courageous leadership is rare these days, and it’s exactly what we need.
We need more public servants like this— people who listen, lead with integrity, and never lose
sight of who they work for. Vinton deserves a representative who stands strong for what’s right.
That’s why I’m proud to support Tim Greenway — and I encourage others to do the same.

Amber Reed for School Board
I am writing this letter, something that I rarely do, in support of Amber Reed for Roanoke
County School Board. As a resident of Roanoke County, the Town of Vinton actually, for the
past 40-plus years, I have witnessed many changes in our schools, and I see in Amber Reed a
person who can restore us to our former glory in our education system. She knows the education
system inside and out.
She graduated from William Byrd High School, so she understands what makes Roanoke County
Schools special. She has a degree in education from Liberty University, so she understands what
it takes to teach our children. She has a background in business so she can relate to what our
businesses are looking for in our graduates. And on top of all of that, she is a fourth grade
teacher in the Roanoke City school system, so she understands how to work with administrators,
parents, and students.
Amber is an independent— not tied to any political party; therefore, she is free to think and
speak for herself and the parents and others who look to her for leadership. But I truly believe
that one of her greatest qualities, and the one that truly separates her from the incumbent
members of the School Board, is that she will listen to all voices and respond to them. Her
willingness to be non-partisan and open to all who approach her, combined with her experience
and education, make her by far the most-qualified candidate for the Vinton District School Board
seat. My strong suggestion is that the citizens of the Vinton District vote to elect Amber Reed as
their next School Board member.

Re-elect Greenway to School Board
I am writing to offer my full support for the re-election of Tim Greenway to the Roanoke County School
Board. I have had the privilege of knowing and working alongside Tim as a fellow broker at Mountain
View Real Estate, and I can say with confidence that he is fair, honest, and deeply dedicated to serving
our community.
Tim listens to teachers, students, and parents, and his decisions reflect a true commitment to what’s best
for our schools. As both a friend and colleague, I have seen his integrity and his steady leadership in action. Tim Greenway cares about people and consistently works to ensure that every voice is heard. Our
schools and our community are stronger because of his service.
I encourage the voters of the Vinton District to join me in supporting Tim Greenway for re-election to the
Roanoke County School Board.

Letter of Support for Tim Greenway
I am writing to express my strong support for Tim Greenway as the Vinton District
representative on the Roanoke County School Board.
Over his years of service, Mr. Greenway has demonstrated consistent commitment to students,
practical leadership, and a steady focus on ensuring our schools meet both academic and work-
force preparation needs.
Tim Greenway has been a dedicated member of the Roanoke County School Board since his
election in 2015 and has served in leadership roles on the board, including chairman in 2017 and
board vice-chairman in 2023. His long-term involvement gives him valuable knowledge and a
deep understanding of our district’s priorities and challenges.
Throughout his tenure, he has repeatedly emphasized doing what is right for students and has
taken an active role in discussions around capital improvements and career-and-technical
education, work that will directly benefit Vinton-area students preparing for both college and
careers. His public statements and engagement with the community show he seeks practical,
non-partisan solutions that prioritize student outcomes.
Tim also engaged with the broader local civic process when he sought to serve the Vinton
community in other roles, showing a willingness to continue serving the public and apply his
experience to help our region. I believe that continuity of experienced, locally rooted leadership
on the school board is an asset for families, teachers, and administrators.
For these reasons: experience, demonstrated leadership on the board, and a clear focus on
student-centered priorities and local work-force readiness, I wholeheartedly support Tim
Greeenway’s continued service as the Vinton District representative on the Roanoke County
School Board. I encourage other community members to consider his record and the steady
leadership he brings to our schools.
Thank you for your consideration,
Sincerely,
Patrick W. Patterson, Vinton

Greenway is tireless advocate for schools
As a proud member of our community, I am writing to express my strong support for the re-
election of Tim Greenway to the Roanoke County School Board. Over the past 10 years, Mr.
Greenway has consistently demonstrated what educational leadership looks like by putting our
students, teachers, and families first in every decision.
He has been a tireless advocate for improving our schools, ensuring that every child has access to
safe, modern, and inspiring learning environments. Thanks to his commitment and persistence,
we have seen major school remodeling projects come to life, including the much-needed updates
at William Byrd High School and W.E. Cundiff Elementary. These improvements are more than
just construction projects— they represent an investment in our children’s future and in the
strength of our community.
What sets Tim apart is his willingness to engage in our community and truly listen. He doesn’t
make decisions behind closed doors; instead, he actively seeks input from parents, teachers, and
community members to ensure that our schools reflect the values and priorities of the people
they serve.
As Election Day approaches, I urge my fellow residents to join me in voting for Tim. Let’s keep
a proven leader on the School Board— one who puts our students, teachers, and community first.

Supports Greenway for School Board
Dear Editor,
I am writing to express my strong support for Tim Greenway, a dedicated and effective member
of our school board.
In a time when public education faces numerous challenges, it is more important than ever to
have thoughtful, principled leaders who prioritize students, listen to families, and support our
teachers.
Tim Greenway has consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to improving our schools.
Whether it’s ensuring responsible budgeting, or championing academic excellence and equity, he
has proven to be a tireless advocate for what matters most: the well-being and success of all
students.
He has given his own time and resources to help students in our community in many ways
outside of his school board responsibilities. He supported the rebuilding of W.E. Cundiff
Elementary School and the remodeling of William Byrd High School.
He upholds the values of our community. Tim shows up, and listens, and he acts with integrity.
Our community deserves school board members who put people over politics, and that’s exactly
what Tim does.
I urge my neighbors and fellow community members to recognize the value of their leadership
and continue to support Tim Greenway in his work on behalf of our schools.
Sincerely,
Melissa Tuck, Roanoke County
