Cinzia D’Iorio, also running for BOE, has similarly worked tirelessly as a volunteer for the school and shares my commitment to continue to strive for ever higher levels of excellence at our school while maintaining a fiscally responsible operation. It is an honor and a pleasure to serve my community alongside the other board of education members, the talented and dedicated administration and teaching staff of HoHo-Kus Public School, and the many volunteers who shape the lives of our children everyday. My only goal is to serve our children well. I hope to continue to do so with the support of the Ho-Ho-Kus community.”
