I very strongly believe civic leadership skills, financial literacy and out of the classroom educational opportunities should be part of our school curriculum. Ranking and quality of a town’s school system affects property values and is an important consideration when people decide where they want to move. I have resided in Newington for over 20 years, my daughter is a proud graduate of Newington High School and my son is in high school. My wife is also an educator and is an upper school science teacher. I am seeking your support so that I can improve and impact education in our local school system.
