It's been too long..

I can say that my mom's health has turned around 180% from this time last year from when she had her heart attach and I was running for School Committee then. It has improved so much so they have even cleared her to ride roller coasters! I can't even believe it! She can't wait to take my son on them this summer as a lesson on gravity!

What have I been doing? I have been active in PTO1 (was the School Spirit Clothing Coordinator), Bryn Mawr's Library Volunteer Coordinator, taking over as Bryn Mawr's Scholastic Book Fair's Coodinator, Substitute teaching in Auburn's District, and a room volunteer for my son's class just so that I know what is going on in the school's. As a note - I am also an Alumnae Admissions Contact for College Fairs for my alma matre Simmons College for Central Mass and assist in the recruiting process annually. I have been keeping my self busy with the Recreation and Culture Committee as well. I am one of a group of very active members. You may have seen me stopping in at the Town Hall offices or running about town. So say 'Hi' if you see me up there or around town or if you have an idea. I am in the midst of Independence Day (6/27)Planning!

So, as some of my friends and associates may know, I have decided to run for a seat on the School Committee again. I always follow what the School Committee is doing and is NOT doing . I have seen what they have not been able to accomplish this past year. Some is terribly obvious, other parts are not. I welcome Dr. Maryellen Brunelle, she is a great addition to this District. She also understands that it took years to get to the mess we are in, and will take time to get us out. It will take a consistent and concerted effort to get where we as a District need to be for the benefit of our kids.

When I stopped by the Town Clerk's Office, no one had pulled papers except the incumbents ... so after some discussions, I pulled them myself and got them signed and back in to the Town Clerk. I have also since found out that I have another running mate in the Hammond family, good luck to him, as well and to the incumbents. The race is on.

The election is May 21st this year please get out and vote! I will be updating this blog frequently over the next few weeks so please keep an eye out for it!
