Dear Trustees: Hi, my name is Morgan. I am sending you this because I want Westmeath Public School to stay open. I don’t want my school to close because I like my friends and if the school closes that means separation. I also like the teachers. I like the class rooms. I like the big yard. I like the spirit days. The school is a big part of the community. – Morgan, 9
Dear Trustees: We want our school to stay open because we have lots of special days. We know all the teachers. The school is special to us and the community. The teachers and the principal are really nice. I want the school to stay open because I didn’t get a chance to go up to the next class. If it closes down I will never get to be in Mr. Boudreau’s class and be a leader, play on sports team and have a good graduation. – Grace
