I would like to share my support for Dawn Ronan, who is running for School Committee.

Dawn is a longtime resident of Hopkinton. She has been actively involved in the Hopkinton community as a parent and volunteer in the Hopkinton schools for many years. I have served with Dawn on the Hopkinton Youth Commission for the past three years. Dawn is currently serving as chair of the commission and is responsible for implementing many programs, including a collaboration with a local Hopkinton business to offer discounted SAT/ACT and college prep courses to our local students. The commission also has continued to work on increased community engagement through various events offered to families and youth in Hopkinton, including the commission’s widely attended community service event on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

The commission also works closely with our school administration and the School Committee to learn what issues are facing our students and how we can work together to address them. Through this work, I have seen Dawn become a trusted collaborator in the school community.

Dawn is dedicated to the well-being and future of all youth in town and I am confident she will continue to serve as an important voice for our students and community if voted to be a member of the School Committee.

Please join me in voting for Dawn Ronan for School Committee.

— Natalie Langlois, Hopkinton
