Dear
Mr. Coverstone:
We, the undersigned parents, fully support East End
Preparatory’s application to expand services from elementary to elementary and
middle school (K-8). At East End Preparatory,
we know from experience that our children are met with positivity and
possibility each day they walk through the doors – opportunities to learn, to
succeed, to explore their talents, gain confidence, and engage with each other. More than just a school, East End Preparatory
is a community, one in which the school
leader, Mr. Leckrone, and his staff welcomes each and every family to join them
in providing the best education possible for our children. Staff are skillful and intentional and Mr.
Leckrone has successfully led East End Preparatory through its first three
years of operation, with outstanding results, proving all children can and will
succeed given the right environment and premier classroom instruction.
East End
Preparatory promotes a
culture where accountability and kindness walk hand in hand. By adding 6-8th grades East
End Preparatory will be able to extend this culture through the middle school
years, allowing our students to successfully transition to high school and
college opportunities. We ask that you mindfully consider this request to help
our children continue to excel, to help the children who will walk in their
path as future scholars, and to provide more opportunity for Nashville parents
and their families. This petition
reflects our support among the families and scholars of East End Preparatory
School K-8.
I have 1 scholar at EEP. I'm so grateful to the staff, families, and the choice to have a high quality public school option for my kids and all the kids in the area. Allowing EEP to expand will allow for a strong pathway for families and students who want this type of school choice.
