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 />
