LETTER: Backing Andrea Sobinski For Farmington BOE

I am writing to express my support for Andrea Sobinski, candidate for the Farmington Board of Education. As a past member of the Noah Wallace Faculty, I came to know Andrea very well. Andrea is an example of proven leadership and commitment to our schools.

Andrea and I first met through Reading Recovery, a program for “fragile” first grade readers. She has become a strong advocate for early literacy intervention, along with promoting Farmington’s commitment to supporting all children to reach high levels of achievement.

As the Secretary and Co-President of the Noah Wallace PTO, she encouraged open and transparent communication by maintaining weekly updates with families and faculty regarding budget, fundraising and school events. She was instrumental in hosting many PTO events that encouraged positive and engaged relationships among children, parents and teachers.

Andrea and I also served on the Student Development Council. By working collaboratively, respectfully and thoughtfully, she was committed to making our schools a safe place for our children.

Andrea’s positive energy and optimism are inspiring. She is an outstanding and valued parent leader within our school community. Her work is accomplished with patience, respect, and grace and she devotes her entire emotional force to working for children and their families. Andrea is the finest example we strive toward in education; making schools a safe and enriching place where children, families, and teachers thrive.

Please join me in voting for Andrea Sobinski for Board of Education on November 3rd.
