                   KATHY GARDNER, MEMBER 

                  My name is Kathy Gardner. My family and I have only
              lived in Chaumont for 10 years. Before that we lived in
              Tacoma, WA and Dover DE while my husband was active

              Lyme Central and they loved the small school and
              small community. 

  • Jon LaFontaine           JON LaFONTAINE, MEMBER 

              While growing up in Watertown, I spent my summers in Chaumont.

           Our home was originally a cottage, which has been owned by our

           family since the land was purchased in 1903. I graduated from

           Watertown High School, while my wife Amdrea graduated from

           Indian River. As we both came from large schools, we felt that our

           children (Callie, a freshman and Jonny, a 7th grader) would greatly

           benefit from a smaller school. Our expectations have been well exceeded

           with what Lyme Central has provided them, both academically

                                                      and socially. I am in my 25th year as a Clinical Discharge

                                                      Planner in the Emergency Department of Samaritan Medical Center.

                                                      I work extensively with children and adolescents, often working

                                                      closely with area school social workers, school counselors,

                                                      and school psychologists. I have served several years as an

                                                      assistant coach for the Lyme Youth Commission's baseball,

                                                      softball, and soccer programs. This experience has enabled

                                                      me to form relationships with both parents & students

                                                      in the Lyme Community. I feel that this bond with the

                                                      Lyme community and my professional experience makes

                                                      me an asset to the Lyme Central School Board of Education.
