Dear HISD board members and administrators,
We write to you as members of the Love elementary school community to express our concerns with the recent proposal to close our school. We understand that maintaining a school system in the best of times comes with difficult decisions, and during times of economic distress those decisions become vastly more difficult. We implore you to reconsider the closing of Love Elementary.
Love is not merely a building where children meet to learn but a vibrant community of parents, teachers and staff putting forth great effort to create a generation of young Texans that can take on the future challenges our state may face and in less troubling times take our communities to new heights. In order to achieve these goals we need not only the people willing to do the work, but a stable environment in which the children are allowed to thrive.
Scattering the students at this time in their education would not only be counter productive, but actually cause lasting damage. In the past few months, a newly elected parent board, has developed plans, and initiated new partnerships with the focus of involving our surrounding community as well as promoting our school with the intention of drawing in new students. To stop cold these efforts just as our school is coming together with the community would be heartbreaking beyond measure.
We write you in hopes that you will reconsider or at the very least postpone these measures, so that we in the Love family may show you the import and vitality our community holds.
Dejar de Love Elementry de Cierre
Queridos Padres de Love Elementary,
Por favor tome un momento para firmar nuestra petición para el Ahorro de Love Elementary! En la petición se dice en Inglés:
Estimados miembros de la junta de HISD y administradores,
Nos dirigimos a ustedes como miembros de la comunidad y la escuela Love Elementary para expresar nuestra preocupación con la reciente propuesta de cerrar los la escuela. Entendemos que el mantenimiento de un sistema escolar en el mejor de los casos viene con decisiones difíciles, y en tiempos de dificultades económicas los decisiones se vuelven mucho más difícil. Le ruego que reconsidere el cierre del Love Elementary.
Love Elementary no es más que un edificio donde los niños se reúnen para aprender, pero una vibrante comunidad de padres, maestros y personal poniendo sucesivamente gran esfuerzo para crear una generación de jóvenes tejanos que puede tomar en el futuro los desafíos de nuestro estado puede enfrentar y en menos tiempos difíciles tomar nuestras comunidades a nuevas alturas. Con el fin de alcanzar estos objetivos necesitamos no solo la gente dispuestos a hacer el trabajo, pero un entorno estable en el que los niños
les permita desarrollarse.
Dispersión de los estudiantes en este momento en la educación no sólo sería contraproducente, pero en realidad causar un daño duradero. En los últimos meses, un recién elegido junta de padres, ha desarrollado planes, y ha iniciado nuevas alianzas con el objetivo de involucrar a nuestra comunidad que la rodea, así como la promoción de nuestra escuela con la intención de conseguir los nuevos estudiantes. Para detener estos esfuerzos al igual que nuestra escuela es viniendo junto con la comunidad sería desgarrador sin medida.
Nosotros escribo con la esperanza de que se reconsidere o al menos posponer estos medidas, de modo que en la familia Love Elementary puede mostrar la importación y vitalidad de que nuestra comunidad tiene.

Look at the test scores this year vs last. Progress is happening and they want to close it? Makes no sense.
Ridiculous decision. These administrators have no idea how much this place means to families. Keep Love open.
THEY NEED TO KEEP THE DOORS OPEN. MY GRANDKIDS GO THERE AND THEY ARE FINALLY THRIVING. DO NOT SHUT IT DOWN.
Love Elementary is such a good school. teachers care so much and the community is like a family. dont close it please.
This school is the heart of the area. Leave it open!

My kids go there and love it. Closing it would break their hearts and ruin our neighborhood. Stop this now.
