We, the parents of present and former students at Mountain View School, are seeking to have Darcy Kelson and Leslie Potente reinstated as teachers at Mountain View School.

Understanding that there are many factors that went into the decision made by the principal, the board and the superintendent, we feel the greatest factor overlooked is the day-in and day-out dedication, love and support that these two women have shown and given to our sons and daughters. Dedication such as theirs can not be taught, it can not and should not be limited to a box checked-off on a performance review. It can, however, be seen in the faces of every one of their students - the excitement to attend school and to learn. Look to the children and you will know the value these two remarkable women bring to Mountain View.

We support these two qualified, dedicated teachers and believe that they embody everything that our district strives to give our children.
