To the Editor:

I am writing to endorse Sara Frampton’s candidacy for the Newtown Board of Education. Born and raised in Newtown and educated in Newtown Schools, Sarah has a first-hand appreciation and understanding of the town and its education system.

Our family had the pleasure of getting to know Sara through the babysitting of our five children when Sara was just in high school. It was evident then that she had a special talent with children. It was not surprising that her passion and enthusiasm for teaching was the focus of her further education and eventual career.

As a member of the Board of Education, Sarah would provide a energetic and qualified voice which can draw upon her own practical experience in facing the challenges presented by a growing and demanding community. In endorsing Sarah for this position, I know that she will always approach her responsibilities with the best interest of the student and family in mind.

Sincerely,

Kevin Grimes
