My 3 grown sons all attended Bethesda,a wonderful school and great teachers. This truly is a neighborhood school nestled in a quiet neighborhood with no adjacent busy retail or major roads like hwy 318 nearby or Moreland Blvd. Just because it was built with open concept that should not be used by the district as an advantage to sell it. Maybe repurpose to still be used as a community and school center but that open concept should not be an advantage for selling to the highest bidder. With the list of schools to close seems like this area on the west end of the city is losing 3 schools. Won't this building be needed also as all the homes near Retzer have families that will need the school. Summit View will be over loaded.

I have 2 sons that currently attend Bethesda. Both are part of the Dual Language Program and Special Ed. Bethesda Elementary is more than just a school — it's a cornerstone of our community. Closing it would disrupt students' learning, separate families from trusted educators, and diminish the strong support system that’s been built over the years. Please reconsider this decision and prioritize the well-being and future of our children.

Hortencia supported: Save Bethesda Elementary School

My grandson, Gionni, just started at Bethesda and absolutely LOVES it! He graduated from the 4K program and is super excited to start the dual language program next year for Kindergarten! Please find a way to keep Bethesda open!

Tracy supported: Save Bethesda Elementary School

One of the main reason I relocate to Waukesha was due to Bethesda Elementary outstanding teachers and their excellent academic programs. I have 2 kids graduated from Bethesda, 1 kid to graduate next year and 2 more in lower grade. We are only a few blocks from the school which makes it very convenient. It will be tremendous lost to the neighborhood and district if Bethesda was to be closed.

Ma supported: Save Bethesda Elementary School

As an educator here from the lower 48, it is saddening to hear about a beautiful local school having to close because there aren’t funds. These children ARE the FUTURE how is there not enough funding to invest in those little humans? If the state allowed it to be more available and affordable for people to move and live here this community would be flourishing and doing so well. This is a beautiful community with so much potential. Please do not take away this sense of community for the families. Let these children keep their school and routines and schedules. With not enough funds counselors are being cut while closing down a community school and disrupting these littles lives; how is removing counselors going to help theses kids transition? Think about it- this is NOT a beneficial move. It will be a loss felt so greatly in a community that deserves to keep this school. Suicide and mental health related problems are REAL- Please I ask do not add to that-rather let’s build this community bigger and stronger. Fundraising, community events there are options to help with money. Love is more than money can buy- let’s love these children enough to keep their hometown school.

Nicole supported: Save Sterling Elementary

Myself along with my three siblings and mostly all the other children in my family have all went through sterling elementary. So many connections, memories and love has came from this school and continues with each passing year. I’m still incredibly close to my kindergarten teacher as I’m sure so many are. Please don’t close down this school, the out reach to the community and love they share for the community says so much!

Carrol supported: Save Sterling Elementary

My 4 kids, their children and now my great grandkids are going to this school. They all have great memories. We need them to continue getting the one on one
