Dear Editor:
Dear Mayor Gonnelli:
I would like to thank you, Mayor Gonnelli and the town council for the creation of the “Exceptional People of Secaucus” program. It is long overdue that the most under represented and least catered to minority in society is given their just due. As a parent of a child involved in this program, I am grateful that you and the council recognize the need to serve these citizens.
Furthermore, I would like to congratulate and thank Mrs. Diana Simpson, who is doing a masterful job coordinating this program. Her tireless efforts cannot go unappreciated. As a special education teacher for over thirty years, people cannot realize how difficult running a program like this is. You have to inventory the likes and abilities of those with different disabilities and come up with activities to suit their likes and master their challenges. This is not as simple as a recreation program for males or females ages 10-15.
In conclusion, I think the creation and success of this program reinforces that Secaucus is a ever inclusive and progressive town serving all its constituents.
Sincerely,
Joe Stinson
