Letter to the Editor:

Return Smith to School Board

October 9, 2003

To the Editor:
I would like to add my voice in support of Kathy Smith's re-election as the Sully District's school board representative. Since meeting Kathy two years ago I have been continually impressed with her dedication to our community and her knowledge of the issues facing our local schools.
Of Kathy's many strengths and abilities I would specifically mention Kathy's responsiveness to the residents of Sully. Having raised four children of her own in our community, Kathy is well aware of not only the issues that parents have concerning the education of their children, but also the successes and disappointments that families experience every day of every school year. I doubt there is an issue that a Sully parent could bring to Kathy's attention that she hasn't already encountered in one form or another, whether in the capacity as a parent herself or PTA president or, for the past year and a half, school board member.

Kathy is dedicated to not just the idea of public schools, she is dedicated to our public schools. I believe her involvement in, and her knowledge of, the Fairfax County school system is unmatched and we in Sully are extremely fortunate to have her representing us on the board.

As one who was educated in the FCPS system K through 12, I am gratified to know that Kathy is working to maintain the same high quality education that I myself received for the county's children today.

On Nov. 4, let's make sure we return Kathy Smith to the Fairfax County School Board on behalf of the Sully District.
