                  Hi, my name is Kathy Gardner and my family and I have lived in
              Chaumont since 2008. Our daughters graduated from Lyme, they 
              enjoyed the small school atmosphere and the close knit community.
              I enjoy being a board member and being involved with the school
              and community. I attend as many school functions as possible.
              I have a niece and 2 nephews that currently attend Lyme. I take
              my role as a Board of Education member very seriously, and want 
              only the best for all of the students, faculty, and staff of Lyme
              Central.

    I have been honored to serve as a Board Member for Lyme Central School since 2009. I feel my knowledge of disabilities and special education, plus my advocacy skills, are an asset to the board.  The needs of the children in our district is my top priority.  I have lived in Chaumont for 24 years and was a summer resident for ten years prior to that. I have five amazing children who I adore, three currently attending Lyme Central School, and two who previously graduated from Lyme Central School. I am currently employed at Samaritan Medical Center as a registered nurse (RN) working on the inpatient metal health floor. I look forward to the opportunity of serving our community in the best way possible.

  • 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.
