Don’t close my school

Sun., Sept. 13, 2015

I am a sixth-grader at Spokane International Academy, and I’m concerned that our new charter school may be closing. I love my school because we are learning about our school philosophy called REACH, which stands for Respect, Enthusiasm, Achievement, Citizenship and Hard Work.

Also at SIA, we use a program called Middlebury Interactive Languages, and we study Spanish online. I also enjoy that we wear uniforms because it makes getting ready to go to school really easy and helps avoid kids judging each other based on clothing. I would be sad to see our school shut down. So, I hope that someone will help us.
