I attended Heard in the 50’s & 60’s. Having a neighborhood school for young children helps in their sense of community & belonging. It is part of their social development. I encourage the parents to stand up and fight to keep the school. It’s bad enough that they took away West High School many years ago away from this community. School Board - there is a better solution to resolve your money issues than closing Heard Elementary School.
Janet supported: Prevent the Closure of Maie Bartlett Heard Elementary School and Paul Dunbar SchoolI care deeply about this issue. I am a product of Heard Elementary went to school there from KG to 6th grade and got blessed to work at Heard as an adult. This school is like a second home to the community, the culture and style that school has held has been remarkable. The teachers, staff and community genuinely love and care for all. This school holds a sacred space in my heart and I am sure it does to many of others. Keep Heard where it stands and always remember to Be HEARD!!!!!
Jahvonne supported: Prevent the Closure of Maie Bartlett Heard Elementary School and Paul Dunbar SchoolWe desperately need to keep neighborhood schools open - not close them down. There are a lot of young families moving into this neighborhood that count on Heard for their children, like I did 29 years ago. They shouldn’t have to bus them.
Gail supported: Prevent the Closure of Maie Bartlett Heard Elementary School and Paul Dunbar SchoolHeard has been my childhood school. My kids sees and feels Heard is their second home
Jessyca supported: Prevent the Closure of Maie Bartlett Heard Elementary School and Paul Dunbar SchoolMe uno a esta campaña porque estaré afectada por el cierre de la escuela Heart ya que mi hijo estudia en ella desde que llegamos a este gran país. Allí él ha aprendido mucho principalmente el English con esos profesionales que forman parte de ese maravilloso equipo de trabajo. Lo que me ha permitido a mí como madre inmigrante tener la satisfacción de que mi hijo tendrá en un futuro la preparación necesaria para triunfar y ser un hombre de bien. Por lo que me opongo rotundamente al cierre de la escuela de nuestra comunidad que para mí es la mejor.
Irina supported: Prevent the Closure of Maie Bartlett Heard Elementary School and Paul Dunbar SchoolI don't want this school gone and abandoned I went to this school in 2007 and graduated in 2011 and I want this school to continue for the next generation of children to have memories like we did
Richard supported: Prevent the Closure of Maie Bartlett Heard Elementary School and Paul Dunbar SchoolPor favor no cierren heard . Nuestros hijos necesitan su escuela. No están pensando en el daño psicológico que le van a ocasionar a los niños al mandarlos a otra escuela, con otros niños que ni conocen, ellos aquí ya tienen sus amigos. No piensan en ellos, por favor no cierren Heard
Erika supported: Prevent the Closure of Maie Bartlett Heard Elementary School and Paul Dunbar SchoolAll of my kids have gone to Heard school.
Fortunately they are all good citizens and the learning at school had helped a lot. Currently my autistic child it’s attending Heard and hasn’t been a very easy transition for hem to stay at school, now he’s in love with teachers and personal at this school and can’t think of school closing. That will be a big and stressful challenge in my son life not counting how much time it took teachers and personal at heard to have my son feel comfortable here. Please do not close our school. It has been serving our community for so many years. I bought my house in this neighborhood so all of my children can go to Heard school since this school had showed me a positive learning environment and have been the best place for many kids to succeed.
Nancy supported: Prevent the Closure of Maie Bartlett Heard Elementary School and Paul Dunbar SchoolThis school has been a staple to my childhood and should stay there. Removing this school will only hurt the children who needs this. Please keep this school here. I went from 1985 to 1992. My brother Shaun McCluskey went there from Kindergarten to 8th grade when they had 8th grade there.
Tiffany supported: Prevent the Closure of Maie Bartlett Heard Elementary School and Paul Dunbar SchoolPlease keep my childhood school open! All of my memories from this school are nothing but positive! I can't fathom this school closing! I live in the area and CLEARLY see the need in keeping this school open in the area. There are SO many families who need this within the neighborhood. This would be a HUGE disservice to students, parents and the entire area. Please keep Heard School OPEN!
