Dear Valois Park Parents:

In our ongoing campaign to appeal to the board, we need everyone to write to our MNA Geoff Kelley.

Please express your frustrations, feelings, anger, dissapointment, breaking up our community, etc. We need to load him with paper on his desk and interject with the ministry on our behalf.

I will keep you posted on the latest developments as they happen.

Thanks for reading.
