Dear Editor,
Please join me and vote for Amy Ritterbush as a candidate for School Committee for the Town of Hopkinton on May 20, 2013.
I have known Amy for several years now and continue to be amazed by how much she dedicates herself in support to the betterment of education in this town and how she stays abreast on town topics. She spends countless hours attending meetings to educate herself and to help inform residents with an unbiased view point. Amy is committed, dedicated, and focused on ensuring that the children of Hopkinton receive the best education and that Hopkinton remains on top without placing undo financial burden on our town.
Communication is a strong skill that Amy holds true to her heart. In the past two years the residents of Hopkinton have complained about the lack of communication between the School Committee and the people of Hopkinton. Amy has taken the initiative in creating a website to inform the residents of Hopkinton (educatehopkinton.com) of the budget process and the Town's financial needs. Amy's communication background would be a great benefit to this town by having her on the School Committee. She strives to keep communication flowing and advocates for solutions.
With the amount of challenges and tasks that the school committee faces, Amy would be instrumental. She is attuned to the topics at hand and would be ready to hit the ground running with new and innovative ideas, while being mindful of the fiscal responsibilities we taxpayers expect of our School Committee. Please join me in electing Amy Ritterbush on May 20th.
