To the Editor:

I am writing this letter in support of Martin Szinger for the Berne-Knox-Westerlo Board of Education. I feel that it is important for him as a new candidate to be recognized and understood prior to the upcoming election.

Martin has a vision for our school that I believe would be beneficial to our students. As a mother of two current students and two future students, I value the direction in which our school’s programs are headed.

I want to see us continue the positive programs and school environment, while also having future goals in mind. Martin has truly put his heart into defining himself as a potential board member and brainstorming ideas that would improve our school.

Martin has been dedicating his time to the community garden located at the school. With new garden beds and plenty of volunteers, this will be an awesome project! He is able to envision a project and put it into action. His skills would be valued by many.

Martin is an involved father who always has time to listen to his children, play with them, and teach them new things every day. I have been lucky enough to know him for the past 10 years and truly feel that he is the right choice to serve on the board of education.

With his leadership, I feel confident that my children will be able to have the best experience at the same school district that I once attended. I am looking forward to seeing how BKW continues to grow over the years.

Please take the time to vote in the upcoming election!
