We need to make a decision now that will enable us to provide<br />
“The Whole Experience”<br />
for our students, staff and community in a cost-effective manner.
As parents and concerned citizens we need to<br />
be able to offer our students the best chance<br />
of success in a wide variety of skill sets for<br />
their future.<br />
It is not about the programs or boundaries, as<br />
programs and boundaries can be moved and<br />
changed as they have been in the past. It is<br />
about the ability of the facility to run programs<br />
with excellence in a cost effective method.<br />
We would like to show you that<br />
THOMAS A. STEWART<br />
is the best place for this to happen.
