Iam writing this letter in support of Chiung-yin Cheng Liu, who is a candidate for the upcoming election of the Holmdel Board of Education. Mrs. Liu is a highly energetic, intelligent, educated and hard-working member of our community. She has over 29 years of teaching experience and is the mother of two young children who are currently enrolled in the Holmdel school system. Having obtained both undergraduate and graduate degrees in music, Mrs. Liu runs her own school of music and is a board member of the New Jersey Music Teachers Association (NJMTA). For the last few years, she has been the principal organizer of the annual adjudication held by the NJMTA at the Westminster Choir College in Princeton. Mrs. Liu has been responsible for running that event at the Monmouth Center, which includes performances by approximately 250 music students, while 2,000 students participated at the entire event. I have personally witnessed Mrs. Liu working very hard on behalf of her students, who included my daughter, by encouraging them to achieve their highest potential.
She is passionate about education and all its nuances and will bring energy to the school board. She is a fully qualified educator with an analytical and inquiring mind, and I fully endorse her candidacy for the school board to ensure and perpetuate the high standard of learning in our school district.
Ruwini de Silva, M.D.
