I appeal to you to please give our school the chance to continue in the work that Christ gave us to do as Catholic educators. To continue to fulfill our school mission statement; “Strengthening faith, Enlightening minds, Transforming hearts, one student at a time”. During this terrible time that so many families as well as our school administration and staff are facing with the Covid. It is unimaginable to have to face our school closing. A school who will be celebrating its 100 anniversary next year. A Blue Ribbon school. A school that stands apart from many others as one of our academic consultants shared with us. She said she had worked in many schools but ours had a different atmosphere. You felt loved and accepted at TA. It was her favorite school to work at. Two of our children graduated from TA and are now Catholic missionaries. I feel strongly that their start in TA helped to shape who they are today and what they are doing to spread the Gospel. If we had been given the chance, I am sure that we would have been filled to full capacity, and would have had to turn families away. As I shared the news with my husband and told him I would be going in to clean out my classroom. He stopped me dead in my tracks and told me, I was giving up too soon that I had no faith, to continue to fight for our school. I needed to hear that to remember that nothing is impossible with God. I am pleading with you please reconsider your decision. It should be made with careful consideration and discernment on how many people are impacted by it, not only now but in the future. When so many people are losing their faith and very dissatisfied with the Catholic Church don’t give them another reason to leave. Please don’t make this decision based on money but whether this is God's will for our school, thank you. And God bless you!
This is so sad and disgraceful for a church to do this!

I’ve known five students that have attended the academy and received commendable and upright education. I pray that whatever can be done to keep the academy open will be done and We pledge our support. Thank You and May Gods Grace be with You.

I experienced catholic education personally and with my daughter as well. I believe it really marked our lives with exceptional values that are most needed, especially during the unprecedented times we are living in. Now it is more important than ever that we continue to carry our catholic education. Our children really need the support of our faith to grow strong in these times of so much insecurity.

With rising enrollment for this coming school year, this decision makes no sense. So many children have been displaced from the only school they have ever attended. It was a heartless decision to close this excellent academic institution.

The students of this school need this community to help survive and thrive during these difficult times. Uprooting their school will only cause more harm.

Just/ Signing!
I am a Father of 5 and Grand/Father of 10. Currently, My two GrandDaughthers Victoria and Sara Zeta/ are parts of the affected students at so lovely school!
Family is not only composed by Parents and Children/ but by our institutions as of the Church and School, where they have already started their top/ Valious Fundations of Moral Streanghs toward Life and Future!
Nowadays, Pandemic times are hitting very hard about every single family. But/ Family, Church and School can’t at any capacity to damp our inocent children!
We all together have just the obligation and responsibility to look into redesign ourselves in order to serve and comply with the mandatory and continue integral education of our children! Nobody said it is an easy task, but certainly, a real matter to face.
Expecting that the very bests “Families’ Allied Institutions” to never give up!
Love and blessings!

Closing down school should never be an Option.
Please keep school open
Please reconsider closing Transfiguration Academy.
