Four directions,, is one of the most needed schools here in the Minneapolis metro area.. My girl is attending Four Directions.. This school provides non discrimination . My girl has attendended many schools in Minneapolis here-and has been treated like she had no chance at all in other class rooms-including South High..My girl was passed up in South High.. and treated differently, even though she has had high scores on all of her test.. Four Directions give all Native American children a chance to succeed and blossom like she mattered. Instead of cast aside.. because of being Native American. Typical stereo typing that many places have. And continue to have.. not only in the class room but in the community.. With out this school.. I affraid that not only my girl but many more Native American Students will continue to be ingnored, and cast aside.. Please do not close this Four Directions.. This is a last hope for many students in the community.. Do Not Take Away Our Hope. sincerly.. Julie Zemke
