I am incredibly grateful and honored to have the support of our community. To the residents of

Tewksbury, thank you for taking the time to vote, whether through absentee, early, or in person

ballot. It's such an important part of our role as citizens to speak up and take part in

determining who will represent our community.

My to my fellow candidates, thank you for stepping up to do something very few people do. For being the voice of our community and making it known that you care. I think we have all learned from this experience and can take that knowledge and grow.

Shannon and John, thank you for your time on the School Committee and the efforts you put in,

especially during the last couple of years with so much going on.

Tonight, we will celebrate. Tomorrow, we will rest. Monday, we begin a new chapter.

"Although no one can go back and make a brand-new start, anyone can start from now and

make a brand new ending." - Carol Bard
