By contributor,

My wife Ann and I moved here for one reason: the strength of the Hopkinton School System. Our three children are thriving here and we are grateful to all those that have made this possible. We write this letter to express our support for Ellen Scordino for School Committee, because we believe she has the right mix of brains and brawn, to keep our schools preeminent in future.

As a professional, Ellen’s credentials speak for themselves. Boston Business Journal’s Top 40 under 40 is a prestigious award, received by Ellen in 2012; this award is offered only to those who possess distinguished intellectual and leadership attributes. As an attorney and scientist, Ellen has the skill set to be an effective negotiator and problem solver on behalf of our taxpayers and our students.

As a parent, Ellen is committed to excellence in education. She promises to pursue the best for our children, with a keen eye to fiscal responsibility. She has no prior agenda, and presents a fresh perspective on issues that will undoubtedly arise, as Hopkinton expands its resident footprint.

As a taxpayer, Ellen seeks what we all want - community engagement, transparency, and value for our tax dollar. She has promised to work to find the best quality solutions to our schools’ issues, balancing both benefit and cost, with fortitude and collaborative effort.

As a person, we have found Ellen to be honest and pragmatic, a ‘what you see is what you get’ type of person. Refreshing. She is incredibly diligent, with a true will to serve her community. She comes from a hard working family, with strong values. She is a dedicated mother and friend.

At the end of the day, Ann & I believe Ellen Scordino will serve Hopkinton well as a School Committee Member; her professional skills and integrity, combined with her transparent and collaborative nature, are a rare combination.

Ann & I are grateful to Ellen for stepping up, and respectfully request you all to come out and vote for Ellen with us on May 20th.

Todd Cestari & Ann Brady
