Did anyone hear that the elementary school in Prairie Oaks has been renamed? It is now being called Sandra J. Gallardo Elementary! Would you like to hear how that came about?
There was a naming committee formed to select possible names for the school. They thought about it long and hard and selected Prairie Oaks Elementary as an appropriate name (and why not?- we've been calling it that for the past several years!). Well, the school board didn't like the name. Instead of telling the committee to go back and think of something else, the school board picked Sandra J. Gallardo as the name.
Did you know that Ms. Gallardo is still alive?!
Schools should be named after a person or place of historical significance!
Shame on the school board for this choice! I'm sure that Ms. Gallardo is a wonderful person, but that is no reason to name a school after her!
And to go against the wishes of the community is wrong!
If you feel the way I do about this school, please write the school board members, call and complain, write letters to the papers, anything.
The next school board meeting is scheduled for Thursday Febuary 20 at 6pm sharp at the Mills Middle School Cafetorium- 10439 Coloma Rd. Rancho Cordova 95670.
