We, the undersigned, respectfully petition the Board of Education to retain Jean Owens in her current role as kindergarten teacher at Ramah Elementary. In her short time Miss Owens has demonstrated exceptional dedication to early childhood education by creating a structured, supportive, and developmentally appropriate learning environment that fosters academic readiness and social-emotional growth. Her teaching has had a measurable impact on student progress, parent satisfaction, and the overall reputation of our school as a place where children thrive. Removing Miss Owens would represent a significant loss of expertise, continuity, and stability for our youngest learners. We urge the Board to recognize the critical contributions of this educator and to take all necessary measures to ensure that Miss Owens remains an integral part of our school community
