The district finally backed down and both of our fine arts teachers are staying at Austin Road. I am drained from this fight but incredibly grateful to every person who signed for showing them we would not let this happen. We have secured our program for now but I will …

Dear Parents, Grandparents, Caregivers, Friends, Faculty and neighbors: This petition is being started to Help Save our fine arts program at Austin Road Elementary School in Stockbridge, GA. We are in danger of losing our much loved Music and Art teachers to other schools. These two ladies do not want to leave our school which has become a home base for them. Ms. Carolyn Starnes-Vincent, who has been at Austin Road Elementary since 1995 teaching music, has become a staple for all the children she teaches. To remove her now whould be a grave mis-justice, to our children as well as her. Fine Arts are very important to the growth and development of our students and children on a whole. Please don't allow bearucratic leadership to take over what our children need in their learning environment. Please sign this petition and keep it going for the future of our school.

Reaching this level of support has been exhausting yet it proves that people truly care about what happens to our art and music programs. I am tired of fighting this battle alone but seeing so many of you join in keeps me going for now.

Art and music are essential for these kids. You cannot just cut them out like they dont matter.

Starnes-Vincent has been there forever. She taught me and now shes teaching my nephew. Don't ruin our school tradition over budget cuts.

Leave our teachers alone. They actually care about the students. Why is it always the good stuff that gets cut first?
