Teach Our Children Well

I was born in 1970, the same year the song “Teach Your Children” was released by Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young. Today, I hold the belief that it is our responsibility as adults to teach our children well. My name is Jack Cardello, and I have been nominated by the Old Saybrook Democratic Town Committee to be a candidate for the Board of Education.

My wife Mary and I purchased our home in Old Saybrook in 2008 because we thought it would be a great community to raise a family. Soon thereafter, our daughter Alexa was born. She has attended Old Saybrook Public Schools since Kindergarten.

I have been a public school teacher for 25 years. I have spent the past 22 years teaching marine technology at The Sound School in New Haven. I have been immersed in public education on a personal and professional level for the majority of my adult life. My experiences as a dedicated teacher and caring parent make me a well-qualified candidate for a position on the Board of Education.

I am confident that I can bring a non-partisan approach to each conversation in which I engage. The well-being of our children is my priority.

I would be honored if you would cast your vote for Jack Cardello for a seat on the Old Saybrook Board of Education in the municipal election in November.
