We're excited to hear that MAP might have the opportunity to grow and stand on its own. We hope this means our chances of getting our daughter into the MAP program (kindergarten grade) this fall will increase.

This is the basic background from what I see: Manor school campus in Fairfax hosts two separate programs, the standard K-5 program and M.A.P. or the Multi Age Program. Manor K-5 is the traditional grade school program on the Manor School campus. The school has long been a worthwhile option for Fairfax families seeking standard K-5 education for their children. The program remains a vital resource for the community. M.A.P. is a “program of choice” for the district offering students the opportunity to participate in project based learning in a multi-age environment. Classes are divided into K-1, 2-3 and 4-5 instead of the traditional K,1,2,3,4,5 paradigm. The program has existed for 18 years BOTH programs offer needed public school options for the Fairfax Community.

I believe the MAP program demonstrates an educational approach that will poise our children for thoughtfulness and success as we continue to face 21st century issues and realities. Thank you for considering this petition.

St. Rita's likely will become available to lease! The petition encourages the School Board to explore this option for our public schools vs. putting a high cost tuition school there.
