School Committee Election Results

Congratulations to Fort River Parent Council President Catherine Sanderson for winning a seat on the Amherst School Committee in yesterday's election! On a personal note, I would like to thank both Catherine and Chrystel Romero (also a Fort River Parent!) for their willingness to take on such a big and important challenge. Thanks also to Chrystel Romero for her past year's service on the School Committee. It was great to see the involvement of so many Fort River parents in both of the campaigns. I believe it shows the dedication of the Fort River community as a whole to the quality of our public schools and to the welfare of all of our children. --Ann McLaughlin, Parent Council Secretary The Amherst Bulletin has posted a short summary of the election results here: http://www.amherstbulletin.com/story/id/927205500229/.
