I am writing to enthusiastically endorse Mona Roy for School Committee. I have worked with Mona on the Lex 250 Commission and I am always impressed by her can-do attitude and willingness to handle any task with commitment and care. Her role as current Chair of the Lex 250 Commission requires a level of leadership, pride, tenacity, and diplomacy. Mona possesses all of these. Mona was a key contributor to the planning and execution of the Knights of Columbus Lex 250 gala celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington. Mona brought organization, advocacy, and a contagious energy to the effort. The result was a tremendously successful event.

I am impressed by Mona’s deliberation and execution of any task she is assigned. Mona listens to learn, speaks the truth, challenges the status quo when required, and advocates for what is right. Mona loves Lexington and cares deeply about its future, with a focus on students, family, and equity. She is a strong proponent for early literacy and evidence-based educational practices. She understands that strong schools require both a profound knowledge of the task at hand, a deep commitment to follow through with that task, and a sensitivity to the issues facing families today.

As a longtime civic leader in Lexington, I recognize the leadership qualities Mona possesses. Mona has the heart and rigor necessary to perform admirably in her role as a School Committee member. She is simply the right person for the job, and I encourage everyone to vote for her as a member of the School Committee.
