Several parents, like myself, have been diligently, without fanfare, dedicating time and energy to the Mascenic school system to fill in gaps for school functions or take up the slack in things like budget analysis and review.

Many people asked me to contribute at the school board level, and I am running in the upcoming election to focus on the most-valuable resource in our town, state, and nation -- our children. As a community, we need constructive discussion on the issues, concerns and opportunities to renew our focus on our children for the best outcomes possible in the Mascenic school system.
