Bonds would benefit Summerfield Elementary
I write in support of the Guilford County school bonds on the May 6 ballot. As a parent and a substitute teacher, I have witnessed the dire need to construct, renovate and rehabilitate Summerfield Elementary.
When I substitute at Summerfield, lunch may be anywhere from 10:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. The mold issues make even a non-allergenic person feel poorly. I have witnessed a boy soaked with mud from puddles that form on the sidewalks. I can testify to the amount of time taken away from education as the kids prepare for their outdoor walk to specials, lunch, the library and certain classes.
Once, a teacher told me how grateful they were that their classroom had been upgraded from the 61-year-old building with no restrooms or sinks to the 49-year-old building that has leaks and mold. Something must be done to contribute to a better learning environment for the kids at Summerfield Elementary.
Please join me in supporting the Guilford County school bonds. Our support, ultimately, will provide a much-needed improved learning environment for the children who are the greatest resource for everyone's future quality of life.
