Mr. Lalonde has made a huge difference in the community. Both arts and sports programming have seen improvement, and students participate in ever-greater numbers. There is great teacher-leadership dynamics and the children feel happy and safe. This decision cannot be made without consulting the parents - such a process is touted as part of the Board's 'commitment to exemplary leadership': http://ppf.tdsb.on.ca/uploads/files/live/92/1869.pdf Our children are not just numbers.

Always approachable and makes the kids feel comfortable with his endless smile & endless support. Fairmount wouldn’t be the same positive environment without his presence. The school families & community need him!

Mr. Laloned is an integral part of Fairmount's! He adds a level of confidence in the staff and students that has been unparalleled in past years while the school struggled to find comradery & leadership among its teacher and parent body. We urge the board to reconsider 'the facts" about the school's REAL need for a increased faculty support to improve the schools academic rating. WE need all the help we can get. Erin

Mr.L has been an amazing addition to Fairmount and a stabilizing force. I have observed his interaction with the children and there is a sincerity and gentle authority which creates an atmosphere of respect. I say encourage enrollment, grow the achool population, build more classrooms strive for an environment of success. Scarborough needs schools with great leaders and enriching environments. Don't go backwards...look to a future....this neighbourhood and school deserves a strong high calibre faculty to support the kids from all around.

With a population of nearly 500 students, a VP is warranted. Without a VP the school and students will suffer. The success of our students is dependent on keeping this important and crucial resource. Roma Perneroski

Petition signed - Mr Laloned is so much more than a headcount or specific position at Fairmount. His role in creating leadership development initiatives, sharing positive conflict resolution strategies and in leading so many programs at Fairmount add immeasurable value to this school. Please reconsider, we cannot lose this incredible asset to the school and community.

This school has gone through a few very difficult years lately. Stability in leadership is critical at this school, and we need Mr. Lalonde to continue to enable positive outcomes for the students at Fairmount. Our school board leadership is aware of the challenges that our school has faced in recent years, and I encourage them to consider this context when assessing Mr. Lalonde's continuation at Fairmount Public School.

Mr. Lalonde has been a huge benefit to our school and has been detrimental to building positive relationships with the students and parents. We would be at an absolute loss if he were relocated.

The high risk/ special needs child in my home depends on this man to not only get him through the day, but also sometimes to get him into the building and keep him there where he makes this child feel safe and comfortable.

Mr. Lalonde should have his picture beside the definition of V.P., and has gone over and above to make Fairmount a better environment for the students, teachers and parents. He always has a smile on his face and willing to help whenever needed. We need Mr. Lalonde to stay at Fairmount ro continue to inspire and mentor the students at our school. What a Gem!
