Together we served as Class Dads with Peter Bernstein for our
children's kindergarten class. The way we saw it, it took three Class
Dads to equal one Class Mom.
One of the first things we did was to sit and meet with the teacher
and find out her expectations and learn what we could do to help. It
was extremely insightful to learn how the school functions and that
insight will serve Peter well.
Peter leveraged his role as Class Dad and was elected as the PTA
President at Hamilton Avenue School the following year. His PTA
leadership was so effective that he even managed to persuade one of us
to join the board. He worked hard to make sure that the PTA was
sustainable and drove outreach to parents and the community.
Together the three of us also coached youth soccer. We experienced the
kids all moving in different directions at the start of the season and
our ultimate goal was to get them to work together. Peter brings this
same goal to serving on the Board of Education.
We strongly support Peter Bernstein for the Greenwich Board of
Education and ask that you vote for the Class Dad on November 5th.
