(Thread) HoCo: Please take note of the BOE candidates who are out in their communities, helping and supporting folks in need, healthcare workers, and our students during this difficult time. /1

@Jen_Mallo (D4) has been out at Swansfield Elementary to help the HCPSS meal distribution and Community Care volunteer tables, along with coordinating handmade face mask donations to local nursing homes. /2

@JoleneforHoCo (D3) has been sewing piles and piles of beautiful face masks for donation to local nursing homes, as well as being active with Community Care volunteering and Oakland Mills Online, a parent-run community learning portal. /3

James Cecil (D2) has been at Community Care sites nearly every single day, volunteering to support folks in need of food, personal, and household items during this pandemic. /4

Antonia Watts (D2) has been actively leading discussions and workshops for Oakland Mills Online, helping students remain engaged during the closure. /5

The rest, especially those in D4 and D5, have done little besides complain that HCPSS didn’t get online learning deployed fast enough to suit them. /6

I know who gets my vote. /end
