This letter is written in support of Michele Kaish who is running for school board in the West Windsor-Plainsboro School District.  In choosing someone who will represent the needs and our deepest desires for our children, I hope that you will vote for this candidate.

When they say, “it takes a village” to help us to provide all that our children need, I always think of my neighbor Michele.  I have been deeply blessed to have her as a neighbor and a friend these last 13 years.  I could not have gotten through the myriad of challenges that have faced me over these years without her.  She is there for people in a heartbeat, without a moment of hesitation.   I cannot think of a single situation that has faced me where she has not been part of my support system and the “solution”.

It is this same dedication and clarity that she has brought to everything she does.  She is the kind of mother I hope I can be to my own children.  She is there unequivocally for each of her three… in the classrooms, at the PTA; at each and every school event and function.  She is not only involved in these activities, she is informed and knowledgeable.  She takes the time to educate herself in all aspects of the things she does.  She is fair, intelligent and insightful.  She is warm and caring and able to organize a very “full-plate” with humor and grace.

I can’t think of anyone I would rather have represent me, and my children here in WW-P.  I would encourage all of you to vote, and vote for Michele Kaish, who is the right person for this job.
