LETTER: Support Andrea Sobinski for School Board

I am writing to express my support for Andréa Sobinski, candidate for Farmington Board of Education. I met Andréa five years ago, when Andréa became actively involved in the Parent/Teacher Organization at Noah Wallace School. For five years, she has led the school community in welcoming newcomers by organizing an annual social for new students and their families. As PTO secretary and co-president, she was a member of the PTO’s Executive Board, working alongside the principal and other faculty to address the needs of students, families, teachers, and staff.

Andréa has shown herself to be hard working and dedicated in her many PTO leadership roles. She approaches situations thoughtfully and with intelligence. She considers all sides of an issue, yet is a capable decision maker. She does not shy away from challenges, and is judicious in her problem solving. She made many meaningful improvements while leading the PTO.

For several years I have been closely involved with Farmington’s schools, attended many Board of Education and Town Council Meetings, and participated in the town’s budgetary process. I understand that Board of Education members are consistently faced with the difficult challenge of ensuring our schools maintain their standard of excellence, provide the best education for all of Farmington’s students, and remain responsible to the town’s taxpayers. I believe Andréa’s experience in the schools and valuable skills more than qualify her for a seat on the Board of Education. I am confident she will serve our community well.

I encourage you to join me in voting for Andréa Sobinski on November 3rd.
