Lynch<br \/>\nRe-elect to School Committee<\/p>\n<p>I would welcome the opportunity to continue to serve Hanover as a member of<br \/>\nthe School Committee.  Four years ago I was appointed to fill a vacancy.<br \/>\nThe next year I was elected to serve on the School Committee.  I have<br \/>\nserved as Vice-Chairperson for the past two years. <\/p>\n<p>One of the reasons that I\u2019ve chosen to run for office again is to<br \/>\ncontinue to work with Superintendent Matthew Ferron and his incredible<br \/>\nadministrative team.  I appreciate and value the vision developed by our<br \/>\nSuperintendent.  He is committed to creating and maintaining a level of<br \/>\neducational excellence that all students deserve.  Working with him and his<br \/>\ndedicated staff has reaffirmed for me that the Hanover school system must<br \/>\ncontinue to prepare all students for the 21st century. If you have not had<br \/>\nthe opportunity to visit our schools lately, I would encourage you to<br \/>\nattend one of the many events held at our different schools.  Just check<br \/>\nthe on-line district calendar.  I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll come away with an<br \/>\nincredible sense of how amazing and talented our youngsters are under the<br \/>\ndirection of teachers who honestly care about their students. <\/p>\n<p>My husband and I have lived in Hanover for over 45 years.  All three of our<br \/>\nchildren graduated from Hanover High.  With the skills and knowledge they<br \/>\ndeveloped during their years in the Hanover schools, they were prepared for<br \/>\ncollege and a career.  I will work to ensure that the same opportunity is<br \/>\navailable for all the children of our town. <\/p>\n<p>One of the most important responsibilities of the committee is to approve<br \/>\nthe school department budget.  After a great deal of preparation by the<br \/>\nsuperintendent and his staff, the School Committee just recently passed the<br \/>\n2018 budget.  It is my hope that the town of Hanover will continue to<br \/>\nsupport our schools.  Not only is it the responsibility of the committee to<br \/>\nprovide for our student\u2019s academic needs, but we must also meet the other<br \/>\ncomponents of a total education.  The fine arts programs, the music<br \/>\nprograms and educational athletics are all a critical part of a student\u2019s<br \/>\neducation.  I would be committed to ensure that the Hanover Schools provide<br \/>\nthe very best for the children of our town.<br \/>\nWith my background as an educator, I believe that my perspective and<br \/>\nexperience has been helpful to the committee.  I was a teacher for 11 years<br \/>\nand then became a high school principal.  My most recent position was the<br \/>\nprincipal of our neighboring community, Pembroke.  It was a special<br \/>\nopportunity to be part of a new school system. <\/p>\n<p>After 28 wonderful years working in schools, I retired six years ago.<br \/>\nSince my retirement, I have been involved in several projects; however,<br \/>\nserving our town has been the most satisfying. I hope to be re-elected to<br \/>\nthe School Committee so that I can continue to serve.  I have always been<br \/>\nproud to be a Hanoverian!<\/p>\n<p>For &#8220;Around Town on the Web&#8221;,<br \/>\nCathy H-B<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<br \/>\n&#8220;Around Town on the Web&#8221; (&#8220;ATOTW&#8221;) has been a valued push notification<br \/>\nsince the spring of 2004 &#8211; long before there were push notifications!<\/p>\n<p>For submission guidelines and answers to frequently asked questions<br \/>\nabout &#8220;ATOTW&#8221;, please go to http:\/\/www.atotw.com.<br \/>\nTo search for archived &#8220;ATOTW&#8221; news, view the archive<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nIf you would like to be added to this distribution list, click here<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nPlease follow the link in the response e-mail to validate your<br \/>\naccount.
