Horace Mann Elementary School is already beyond capacity and is experiencing rapid population growth. Parents at Horace Mann want to be sure that the Newton Public Schools administration and School Committee understand that we are already using all of our eighteen classrooms and by September 2011 may very well need one or even two additional classrooms. We, the undersigned, respectfully call on the Newton School Committee to take Horace Mann’s dire space needs into consideration in your upcoming deliberations over where to allocate scarce school construction dollars.
The feedback from other families confirms we are all feeling the same pressure as our classrooms hit their breaking point. I am spending my evenings drafting notes to the committee because our situation is not getting any easier to ignore.

Seeing this kind of movement confirms that we are not the only ones looking at these empty promises and feeling ignored. The weight of this situation is heavy but it helps to know so many of you are feeling it right along with me.

The hallways are crowded and it's a safety issue. Our kids deserve a proper learning environment not a closet for a classroom.

My son's class is way too big. Hard to get individual attention when there are 30 kids packed in like sardines.

Newton needs to prioritize our schools. It's getting out of hand.

We moved here for the schools but this overcrowding is a mess. Need more rooms asap.

Ridiculous that we have to fight for basic space. Fix this now.
