Ms. Foo embodies the spirit and compassion that defines Lake Oswego Middle School (LOMS). Her dedication and commitment to our community have been invaluable, shaping the lives of countless students and involving herself deeply in all aspects of school life. The recent decision to transfer her to Lakeridge Middle School (LMS) has come as a surprise and dismay to many of us who have witnessed firsthand the positive impact she has made at LOMS.

Having Ms. Foo at LOMS is not just about her educational contributions, but the emotional and motivational support she provides to each student. Her unique approach to teaching, combined with her undeniable passion for student success, has made a real difference in nurturing a positive and inspiring learning environment. Ms. Foo's presence fosters a sense of belonging and encouragement among students, particularly those who struggle to find their place within the school environment.

Transferring Ms. Foo to LMS could severely impact the LOMS community and students who rely on her. While her talents would undoubtedly benefit any school, the sudden change would remove a pillar of stability and support from many young learners who call LOMS their second home.

This petition appeals for reconsideration of this decision, urging the authorities to understand the broader impact of Ms. Foo's transfer. Her role is irreplaceable in shaping not only academic futures but emotional and social landscapes as well. We believe that keeping Ms. Foo at LOMS is essential for maintaining the well-being and continued growth of our students and community.

Join us in this cause to keep Ms. Foo at LOMS, because losing her here is more than just a change in staff—it's a change in the atmosphere of our beloved school and community. Sign this petition to support our request to retain this integral member at Lake Oswego Middle School.
