This is the School Everyone Should Be At!

Ortega Elementary should stay open because it is a wonderful school. Also everyone is kind, helpful, and so much more. Ortega is beautiful and the teachers will do anything to help you succeed. Teachers are just like, wow, this is the school that everyone should be at! Ortega is like home to me because I always feel safe. This is how absolutely wonderful this school is: when I wake up, at 6:00 am and I say I don’t want to go to school all I do is say to myself, “Hey I’m a superstar and I can take on anything because I go to Ortega Elementary!” Some solutions instead of shutting down Ortega are to create a 6th grade, or close another school down and send the students to Ortega. Please keep Ortega Elementary open.

All of the Kids Want To Do Their Best

What I am going to write about is why the school district wants to close Ortega Elementary, where I go to school.  I do not want my school to close down because I have gone here since kindergarten and now I am in the fifth grade. Ortega Elementary is an exemplary school and the kids that go here are very smart.  In addition, they are respectful to each other and to the staff at Ortega. Ortega should not be closed because other kids that are in first grade love to learn at Ortega and the want to finish elementary school here. In every grade kids love Ortega and I love Ortega too because this school is great.  Also, our parents do not want Ortega to close because they want their kids to do their very best at Ortega and all of the kids do their best because our school is exemplary.  In my opinion Ortega must stay open and a possible solution is to create a 6th grade so our school can have more students.


Thank you,

Why Ortega Should Stay Open

As kids, we want  our favorite school, Ortega to stay open because  is a great school where we study  and we learn a lot. It is a special  for  us that we have been here for many years and we think it should be open for many  more years.

Our Teachers Inspire Us to Learn

I do not want people to close my school because my school is exemplary 2008-2010 and we have 305 students in our school. We have excellent, inspiring teachers, that help us to be successful and go beyond what they want us to do and be excellent: be better at what we did not know before. My teacher helped me be 2nd honor roll 2 times in 5th grade and now I am getting A's and B's in 5th grade. I would not be where I am now without my teachers that help me. It is a great school. I do not want to see my brother and sister going to another school that we do not know about. My mom tells me she does not like the idea of closing Ortega and lots of parents agree. Instead of closing Ortega elementary, an alternative solution could be to create a 6th grade, closing another school and sending those students to Ortega; or the school district ran a campaign to increase our student numbers.

We All Love Learning

I want Ortega to stay open because we are an Exemplary school. I want to finish my last year of elementary. I want my little brother and sisters to finish elementary school at Ortega. We all love coming and learning every day and we hope that it will stay open. 

I learned a lot from this school. The teachers are really good at doing their job. If we ever have trouble with work we can go to our teachers. If we need someone to talk to or need a break we can go with our counselor.

I just hope that this letter will make a difference and change peoples mind about closing Ortega. Here is a solution: send the students over here to our school.
