I have known Mona Roy since our oldest sons were in kindergarten together at Fiske, nearly 20 years ago. Our friendship, originally centered around our children, has continued and grown.
Mona gives an incredible amount of her time and talent to Lexington. She has contacts and connections in virtually every group that exists in town. Every neighborhood. Every generation. Every faith community. Every affinity group. Every school. If you need to make a connection with a group and you don’t know who to call, you call Mona.
Mona also will “tell it like it is”. She knows how things work. She knows the messy work of local government. She has lobbied at the State House. She has written and contacted our representatives. She knows the hard work of holding a paying job while advocating for services for her students and arranging care for an elderly parent and checking in on a neighbor. That is who she is. Juggling priorities is her Super Power.
Now, Mona seeks to contribute to Lexington by becoming a member of our School Committee. I cannot think of a more demanding, volunteer position in town. And this incredibly able citizen wants to do it.
Mona may lead with her heart but she makes decisions based on data and analysis. She listens deeply. She hears points. And, at the end of the day, she knows it is up to School Committee members to make decisions and recommendations about where the majority of our tax dollars are spent…on our schools.
You will not find a more committed person than Mona. Lexington will be well-served to elect her to School Committee.
