I am very happy to note that the support for me is growing exponentially day by day. Here is a letter I have received from one of the parents:

Dear Ms. Eskicioglu,

I am very glad that you are running against John Shea in our zone and I wish you great success. I live in the Chapel Hill area. This morning I noticed many of your signs in Cumberland and near Sir Wilfrid Laurier but no signs in the Chapel Hill area. I would suggest that you place some on Jeanne D'arc going up the hill from the intersection of St. Joseph and Jeanne D'arc, and near the intersection of St. Joseph and Forest Valley. People in this area do not know that you are running. This is a heavy residential area and many parents are unhappy with John Shea here because he changed the boundaries so that the only option we have now is Cairine Wilson. Before we had the option of sending children to Gloucester and Colonel By. Also he has gotten great restrictions placed on school transfers and had put Gloucester and Colonel By on the list for possible closures, while keeping Cairine Wilson on a special status even though it was a school with low enrollment and a school that has performed poorly in EQAO and district wide assessments, compared to other schools in the area.
