I have long been a supporter of you and
your kids in West Bloomfield Schools.
I value your children as I do my own. I
respect your opinions and have always
been approachable and fair. I have been
philanthropic with both my finances and
time. This I have done because I care about
kids and have respect for taxpayer money.
I appreciate education and know that the
way to success is through education. I want
our schools to be at the pinnacle of what
every parent wants for their children. This
will enable us to be proud of our district and
regain our property values. We must give
our kids the resources to go out in the world
and make a difference. I will do whatever it
takes to make and keep our schools great.
Now I need your help. Please remember
to vote on November 6th. Please vote for
our future as a great school district. I am an
orthodontist, Nelson Hersh, also known as
Nick and I hope you will support me in this
endeavor together. Please re-elect Nelson
(Nick) Hersh for West Bloomfield School
Board.
Thank you,
Dr. Nelson Hersh
