And what IS Tracy up to on School Committee?

Here’s a bit of it:

“It isn’t a great year to have to come up with over $100,000,” says School Committee member Tracy Novick, “but it is something that we on the School Committee are working with the administration on. We’ve also been very grateful to see the community come together to get the kids back in class and really come through in helping out.”

(We’re taking donations through Worcester Public Schools, 20 Irving Street, Worcester, MA, 10608.)

Thank you to EVERYONE who voted for me today! WE DID IT!

Particular thanks to those who did anything to help: held a sign, convinced a friend, mailed postcards, scooped ice cream, handed out (or blew up) balloons, went door to door, updated my website, came to an event, or contributed money. I appreciate it.

WE DID IT!

Thank you so very much!

BE SURE TO VOTE!

…didn’t stop the campaigning. As I heard someone say today, “We aren’t a fair weather campaign!”

Workers United did a combined stand out at Lincoln Square today. Lots of members, lots of candidates! Thanks to everyone who braved the weather and stood out today. It doesn’t feel as chilly with company!

I know some of you heard me on Jordan Levy (from Lincoln Square) this afternoon. And lest I forget, let me say here how very generous Jordan Levy is with candidates. He genuinely wants people to run for office and is active in encouraging them to do so, and while they are doing so. Thank you!

Finally, a meet and greet. Thanks, Val, and thanks to everyone who did not just go home on a rainy night. I enjoyed meeting all of you, hearing great ideas, and sharing enthusiasm for Worcester’s schools. Thanks for coming!

It is SEVEN DAYS to Election Day!
Coming up this week: we’re doing a quick, before school stand out at Tatnuck Square on Tuesday morning. Join us at 8 and stay as long as you can!
The unions are standing out with the candidates they are supporting at Lincoln Square from 4-6 pm on Wednesday. Should be a big one!
We have a meet and greet Wednesday night. If you’re interested in attending, contact the campaign.
We will be doing at stand out on Friday night at Kelley Square. If you had a Halloween event at school on Friday, by all means, wear your costume!
Also, remember that we have friend postcards. Get yours today!

Parts are humorous, parts are serious…if you forward to 7:30, they get to me.

Thanks to the great number of people who made Wednesday night’s CPPAC forum a success: CPPAC, Jordan Levy, those at Worcester Tech, everyone who came, and especially those who asked questions. There were some great ones!
