Dear Friends,

It is time to get this campaign rolling. As you know, I am up for re-election for the district 4 seat on the Washington County School Board, and I am very excited about the opportunity to continue serving in this capacity if elected.  We have made a lot of progress in the last 3 years, but there are many opportunities left to tackle and improve. I truly enjoy serving, and want to continue to play a role in helping guide our school system forward.

In the coming years, our county and school system will face many challenges related to growth, changes in our society, and rapidly changing career opportunities that require more specific skills and training. I feel it is very important that we embrace these challenges and try to place our county school system in a position of leadership as we move forward.  We can no longer afford to just meet requirements! It does not work in the business world anymore, and we should not accept it in our school system.

My goal is that we strive for excellence in every aspect of our school system, whether it is academics, athletics, music and the arts, or any other extracurricular activity.

In order to make this campaign a success, I will need help from many of you.  I will be very appreciative of any support you can offer, whether it is communicating with your family or friends or volunteering at a campaign function. It will also be very important that we generate funds to run the campaign, and in that regard, I would appreciate any amount that you feel you could contribute. No amount will be too small.

Please call me if you have any questions or issues you would like to discuss. Thank you for your support.

Terry Ellis
