~ Letter-to-the-Editor ~ In Support of Ralph DeCicco

Dear Editor,

I am writing today as a resident and voter of the City of Revere to express my support for my dear friend, Ralph DeCicco, who is running for an at-large position on the Revere School Committee. This year, the School Committee will operate with a new format featuring two at-large seats, and Ralph is a candidate for one of them. I believe that Ralph would bring a unique perspective to the School Committee, which would truly set him apart from the other candidates.

As the parent of one current Revere Public Schools student and one recent graduate, he is invested in the state of our school system now – he understands the needs of Revere families and will work to strengthen Revere Public Schools in the present and for the future. As the Chair of the Revere Commission on Disabilities and a member of the commission for nearly a decade, Ralph has experience in advocating for a vulnerable population that is often overlooked, and he has delivered in that role. Ralph’s dedication to the City of Revere and its residents is admirable, and his work ethic speaks for itself in the best possible way – if elected, he will work tirelessly for the families of Revere Public Schools.

Regular readers of your publication may already be familiar with Ralph’s qualifications and experience. However, as a friend of Ralph’s and a voter in Revere, I would like to introduce my neighbors to the Ralph that I know and respect.

In addition to being a dedicated family man and community leader, Ralph serves as the Vice President of the Holy Name Society at Blessed Mother of the Morning Star Parish/St. Mary’s Church. In this role, he organizes events that foster community fellowship and contributes to charitable efforts through the church. Ralph is a man of strong moral character and integrity, and he is a passionate leader who genuinely cares for others.

What Ralph DeCicco would bring to the table is a pragmatic approach and thoughtful insight to resolving the issues of the day within the Revere Public Schools. We need a voice like Ralph’s on our School Committee, and I would humbly ask that my friends and neighbors of Revere consider voting for him on Tuesday, November 4th.

Sincerely, Salvi Ternullo

Revere Resident Member & Past President Holy Name Society at Blessed Mother of the Morning Star Parish/St. Mary’s Church in Revere
