Benvenuti cares deeply about Waterford schools

October 11, 2019 12:00 am • Last Updated: October 11, 2019 4:54 pm

I am writing in support of Marcia Benvenuti for the Waterford Board of Education. I have known Marcia for many years as a teacher, neighbor and friend. She is dedicated to our children and their education as well as their environment, being actively involved on the Waterford Board of Education. She cares deeply about quality education and has advocated for students, families, teachers and administrators. She considers all options before making important decisions. She was instrumental in establishing a wonderful garden at Great Neck School years ago and continues to give lessons to the students on planting and enjoying the fruits of their labor every year! I enthusiastically support Marcia for the Waterford Board of Education and hope you will do as well.
