I have a healthy skepticism for sound bites. That said, an appropriate “elevator pitch” can communicate purpose, intent and values effectively.  Mine is simply:

We in the Needham Public Schools are preparing the next generation of citizens.

My work on the Needham School Committee, and my support of public education in Massachusetts, is guided by that view of our purpose.
