Petrocco is the choice for school board

Editor,
    In this letter I would like to extend my support for Donna Petrocco in her run for the board of education. As a previous member of the board, I know what is needed and expected from an individual, and she is the person I choose to represent my child.
    She is a visionary, visible in the community and reliable. She will contribute fairly and honestly and will continue these behaviors as a member of the board of education.
    Donna remains passionately involved in non profits servings as the key leader and/or member. Donna is genuine, giving financially and of her time and expertise. She is involved with the Boys & Girls local club and in our schools.
    In her tenure as president at Valley Bank & Trust, she has developed programs supporting financial literacy, the importance of saving for college and scholarship programs with Grade 13 and Beyond. In addition, through her involvement with Early Rotary, she and members have provided dictionaries to thousands of third-graders in the 27J district. Donna always finds a way to involve kids in the committees she is involved with, it is who she is.
    On the day you cast your ballot, place your vote for Donna Petrocco. She is a true advocate for education and will do what is right for our children and our taxpayers.
