People don't come to Holbrook to work in a high rise office building. They don't come here to shop in a mall.
You won't see tourists or people seeking "night life" in Holbrook. What you will see in Holbrook is families.
Holbrook exists so you can raise a family. An essential part of raising children is ensuring that they
are properly educated so they can face the challenges that await them in the competitive technological society
they will live in.
Last year Holbrook High School was listed as one of the top ten most improved schools in Massachusetts in MCAS
results. Absenteeism, tardiness and disciplinary problems are all down from prior years. These improvements are not
the result of a "happy accident". We have in place now a proactive school administration that does not consider
the less than stellar results we've historically had "good enough". They are doing something about it. They are
doing this in spite of rising costs, shrinking state aid, and buildings that are not up to par.
During the coming election we have a chance to vote on the direction that we want the schools to take.
Right now, the schools are going in the RIGHT direction. Vote for incumbents Barbara Davis and Christine Ward
for school committee. Vote to continue the progress that's been made towards the quality school system
that Holbrook's children require and deserve.
Sincerely,
Charles and Patricia Greely
