Support Gibbons For Wayland School Committee: Letter

The following letter to the editor does not reflect the views of Wayland Patch

As parents with three young children in the Wayland school system, we fully support and endorse Erin Gibbons for School Committee. When we learned that Erin was going to run for School Committee, we knew that she would be the perfect person for the role.

As a mother of four wonderful children who span kindergarten to high school, Erin is invested and well versed in the past, present and future of our school system and its students. Erin’s deep commitment is evident through her years of volunteer work on multiple school councils (she is currently serving at the high school), as well as dedicating her time as a committee member for the principal and assistant principal search at Happy Hollow. Erin has been a PTO liaison, served on the superintendent’s task force, coaches youth soccer and is very supportive of Wayland athletics.

Erin’s professional experience as an attorney will also serve her well as a School Committee member. Erin is experienced in assessing risk, analyzing diverse viewpoints, resolving disagreements, and driving consensus, as well as navigating town committees and processes.

Above all, what stands out most to us, is her character. She is open-minded, fair, inquisitive, respectful and positive. She will be an advocate for our students, a voice of reason, a problem solver and work tirelessly to be a unifying force for our community. She will get the job done.
Our children will be in the Wayland schools for many years and we are honored to support, endorse and vote for Erin Gibbons on May 10th for School Committee.

—Jerry Reid and Patty Murphy, Wayland
