To the Editor:

I have had the good to fortune to work with Sara Frampton since 2005. Sara is wonderful to work with. She is pleasant, helpful, respectful, and patient. She has spent a lot of her own time assisting the staff with the technology upgrades our facility has been going through. She not only explains things, she is willing to work with us until we are at ease with the concepts.

Sara is one of the first ones to get to work each day even though she lives a half hour away. She is also seen hours after school closes helping students or staff. Sara puts in a lot of extra time working on computer problems.

When another teacher needed to buy a new computer, Sara volunteered to help me pick one out, install it, and teach her how to use it. I am now looking for a computer and Sara is helping me.

I have seen the organizational skills that she possesses, as well as those she teaches her students. Her attention to detail is evident in all of the projects she takes on. I see the patience and respect she treats people with. I have never seen her talk down to anyone.

Sara is definitely an asset at St Mary School. Sara has the personality and dedication to be an asset wherever she decides to work. It is obvious to anyone spending time with Sara, that she loves her hometown of Newtown. Sara has the qualities to be a wonderful town clerk. She has the capabilities to move that office further into the age of technology.

While she will be missed here, I realize that a vote for Sara on November 3 is really a vote for Newtown’s future.

Sincerely,

Barbara Jean Lonardo
