I am voting for Matthew Sheldon for the 9-R school board. As a board member of the Adaptive Sports Association and volunteer myself, I have seen the passion and energy that Matthew brings to working with our athletes. I expect him to bring that same energy and passion he exhibits taking our high school students to the ski park or teaching a first-timer on the beginner hill.

Having seen him work with students from the age of six through adults, I have seen how much he cares for the people of our community. He has also has excellent interpersonal skills that will allow him to clearly communicate with our parents, teachers and students. We have been lucky to have Matthew as a member of our team at Adaptive and I know 9-R will benefit from having Matthew as the newest school board member. Please consider energizing our school board with this man who has already demonstrated his dedication to the students of 9-R.
