To the Editor:
I am running for a seat on the Lyme-Old Lyme Region 18 Board of Education (BOE) because I believe that my experience and ability will enable me to make a strong contribution to the continued excellence of our well-regarded school system. Through my 22 years of experience as a professional educator, I have gained first-hand knowledge of the policies, procedures, and vernacular pertinent to district-level decision-making.
I am committed to life-long learning and accustomed to assimilating new concepts and skills. I am flexible in my thinking, consider the reasoned positions of knowledgeable others, and adjust readily to an ever-changing playing field. Over the years my critical thinking skills and self-reflection have improved my teaching and ability to create student success. I am confident that these attributes will assist me in making informed and thoughtful decisions on the BOE. My wife, also an educator, and my two children, who attend school in Region 18, appreciate the quality of life we have in Old Lyme. It seems only right to contribute to the town and institutions from which we benefit.
I hope that when you step into the voting booth this November 2nd you will cast a vote for me and the other well-qualified Democratic candidates. We will bring 90 years of collective educational service to the students and families of Old Lyme.
Sincerely,
Alexander Lowry,
Old Lyme.
