Former Board of Ed. candidate says thanks

I would like to thank my family and friends, who have tirelessly put so much time and energy into supporting me for my run for Board of Education. Even though I did not get onto the board, I just wanted to thank each of you for your help and hard work. I also wanted to thank my community of Millstone, to those who supported me and voted for me; for that, I'm very appreciative. I'll still work hard on the sidelines to help our children get the education they deserve.

I would like to see more community members and parents come to the Board of Education meetings. It's a very important time for our district, and we as a community need to show a force of support for our children, the teachers, and the taxpayers. The budget may have been defeated and restructured to be more favorable to the taxpayers, but we need to make sure that our children are getting the education they so deserve. They are our future.

So let's be supportive of them and make sure that the board stays focused on what's important: our children and our future citizens. Please try to get more involved; one person cannot make a world of difference in a community of our size, but a community working together can make an even bigger difference. Again, thank you for all of your support.
