thank you<br />

To the editor:<br />

LETTER TO THE EDITOR<br />

Thank you so much to everyone<br />

who came out to vote for me<br />

on April 13, and for all of my wonderful<br />

supporters and campaign<br />

team, and of course my family.<br />

I am humbled by, and appreciative<br />

of, your support. The<br />

School Committee election was<br />

the only contested race, yet Lynnfield<br />

residents came out to vote in<br />

large numbers to elect and re-elect<br />

a number of public officials.<br />

It was great to see so many familiar<br />

faces turning out to vote at<br />

the polls on Tuesday. Additionally,<br />

it was wonderful that so many of<br />

you who I had not met personally<br />

until Tuesday came out to vote for<br />

me and for experience, compassion,<br />

empathy, integrity, attentiveness,<br />

independence, and a commitment<br />

to all stakeholders in the<br />

Lynnfield Public Schools.<br />

Moments I will never forget<br />

from this election include the two<br />

senior gentlemen who came out<br />

to vote and told me their reasons<br />

why. The first was voting for me<br />

because his grandson is a teacher,<br />

and the second said he had “no intention<br />

of voting in this election”<br />

until he read a letter (he gave me<br />

the letter he had clipped from the<br />

paper) from one of my former students<br />

that had inspired him to cast<br />

a vote for me.<br />

I am looking forward to working<br />

with my School Committee<br />

colleagues and supporting Superintendent<br />

Kristen Vogel and her<br />

remarkable team of educators in<br />

achieving and exceeding our district<br />

and strategic goals of: Building<br />

leadership capacity; educator<br />

growth; curriculum and assessment;<br />

assessment and accountability,<br />

and social and emotional<br />

wellness.<br />

We will expand STEM (science,<br />

technology, engineering<br />

and mathematics) and World Language<br />

programming, a process<br />

that had started pre-COVID. I am<br />

committed to the “tent poles” that<br />

support this work — the safety<br />

and well-being of students, relationships,<br />

equity, and academic<br />

growth.<br />

The foundational value here<br />

is equity, which is something I<br />

commit to professionally as an<br />

anti-racist educator, and is a value<br />

that I have championed in my time<br />

on the School Committee.<br />

Thank you for voting Mc-<br />

Queen on April 13.<br />
