Sterling Elementary is more than a school—it is a vital part of our children's lives and the heartbeat of our community. From Trunk-or-Treat and Santa’s Workshop to Carnival, Falcon Fun Nights, and One Book One School, Sterling fosters joy, learning, and togetherness for families.

Closing this school would not only disrupt students’ education, but also dismantle the strong community connections and support systems that so many rely on.

We respectfully urge the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District, Governor Mike Dunleavey, Peter Micciche and our Alaska Legislature to keep Sterling Elementary School open and explore alternative solutions that preserve the future of our students, teachers, and families.
