To the Editor:

I have known Debbie Leidlein for some time and enthusiastically support her running for the Board of Education. Debbie is a great example of someone who has fully committed herself to Newtown. She has held many leadership positions in Newtown: founder and president of Newtown Education Foundation, Middle School PTA president, strategic planning member for Newtown Schools, past president of Women Involved in Newtown and fundraising chair for Newtown Youth Football and Cheer.

Debbie is a creative thinker always looking for fiscally responsible ways to improve Newtown’s education system. Debbie is a communicator who would like to see our town boards working more collaboratively. Debbie is a leader as demonstrated by all of her town involvement.

Debbie Leidlein is a great choice for Board of Education.
