To the editor:
This election day I am casting my vote for Amy Donohue for School Committee.
Amy’s credentials as a dedicated public servant and involved parent have been well-documented over the past several years.
Her commitment to our Public Schools goes far beyond the interests of her own children, as she cares deeply about the quality of education for all students. She has advocated fairly and passionately for students, families, teachers, and administrators during her first term.
I have had the good fortune to be friends with Amy for well over 10 years, we also served as co-presidents of the Watertown Education Foundation. Having spent many years fundraising for the school-wide Educational Grant Program either at the Spelling Bee or Trivia Night or Dancing with the Stars, I have seen first-hand the time, effort, and energy Amy has dedicated to our town. I have found her to be a caring, compassionate, intelligent person, willing to listen to all sides of an issue and fully considers all options before making important decisions.

Her tireless involvement in the community, through The Ed Foundation, teaching in our public schools, and as a local business owner, to name just a few, shows that she is a person of service and integrity, who truly wants the best for Watertown. I know she will continue to serve the school committee with the same passion she exhibits in all of her endeavors.
I believe she will continue to be a true advocate for all students, and that she will help ensure that every child has the chance to maximize their potential. I wish her the very best on Nov. 2nd and ask you to join me in voting for Amy Donohue.
Respectfully,
Elaina Themistos
