Wow! Unanimous!

Tonight at the city council meeting, council members, as well as Mayor Pike, showed the audience of concerned citizens overwhelming support for neighborhood schools. They changed their agenda and discussed and unanimously passed the resolution presented by Lowell's PTA President, Lisa Distler.

They really KNOW a neighborhood school is really about community. We showed up tonight unified as a community and we were heard as a community. Thank you city council for listening!

In addressing the city council, we were clear our school is important to us, our neighborhood and the city's identity. We also know this a serious time and informed the council and Mayor Pike we are willing to creatively help the school district during this budget crisis to find funds to reopen Lowell Elementary. 

Thanks everyone for coming tonight. Special thanks to Lisa and Andrea for addressing the council on our behalf!
