Wednesday, April 1, 2020 — Issue 555

NEWFANE — I am supporting Drew Hazelton of Jamaica for the member-at-large seat on the Windham Central Modified Union District School Board.

I have had the pleasure of serving with Drew on Windham Central school committees and am impressed with his dedication, visioning, insight, and knowledge and his concern for high-quality education for students at all levels. Furthermore, he is an articulate speaker and can convey information in a clear and understandable manner.

I am casting my vote for Drew, and I encourage you to do the same.
