Dear Editor:
I am writing this letter in order to highly recommend that the voters elect Jonathan to the office of city treasurer on November 8, 2011. As a school teacher, Jonathan Pulino is required to make tough and crucial decisions everyday that impact the future of many Maloney High School students and staff. Jonathan is consistently early for work and leaves the building very late in the day while taking pride in his work. Besides being an amazing and creative teacher that can motivate students to write about classic topics such as The Pearl, The Odyssey and Beowulf, Jonathan has become a very holistic problem solver. I have seen Jonathan calm a classroom down by using non-verbal communication techniques that bring down disruptions while bringing the level of production using a Collins Style method high. Another key component of Jonathan is his ability to be cool under pressure during fire and lock down drills, this is something is usually overlooked during teacher interviews, but could result in a teacher making a bad decision because they weren’t trained correctly. This isn't the case with Jonathan, who seems to know the safety manual backwards and forward.
It should also be noted that Jonathan Pulino is the current class advisor for Maloney's Senior Class (2012) and has done an incredible job at balancing the $23,000 budget that was raised by the students. Although the figure is not as big a city budget, the concept is the same: follow the money and keep track of the funds. If a discrepancy is found, the proper protocol at MHS is to alert the appropriate administrator. This is something that Jonathan would do very well as city treasurer, he would not be afraid to blow the whistle on any wrong doing that is going on and will do what's right.
Respectfully,
Kate Dubois
