To the Editor,

It is with great pride and happiness that I urge Newtown voters to make Sara Frampton their town clerk! Having known Sara since the two of us were kindergartners at St Rose School, I know well how organized, kind, and giving a person she is.

While growing up together in Newtown, Sara was a friend that I could always rely on. Whether it was help with tough subjects in school or a shoulder to lean on through the trials and tribulations of high school, Sara was always there for any friend in need. This applied to her community as well. When teaching religious education to children at St Rose School, Sara took her volunteer position very seriously, making sure that her students had a great time and her classroom was a friendly and positive environment.

Sara Frampton is organized, enthusiastic, and truly loves and cares about this town. I could not count the times that I have called my friend only to hear that she is volunteering or attending a town meeting to express her ideas on how to make Newtown a better place. Sara is the type of town clerk Newtown needs. So if you would like a town clerk that has given back to the town since her youth and will continue to do so, vote Frampton on November 3rd.
