    I’m a student at Lodestar and I feel like Lodestar should stay open because if you’re there for long enough you feel welcome and a part of the community and the teachers teach the lessons very clearly. You can make lots of good friends and you are always free too ask questions and ask for help on anything. Teachers/staff members are always free to also help with personal problems you are having at school and at home.

    I am the office manager for both the middle and the high school. I am a proud staff member to be working for a school that goes far and beyond in supporting our black and brown youth. We need this school here so we can continue serving the community of East Oakland. Recently a mom came to me and was like, " I heard they open a school in my old neighborhood and I knew I had to get my son enrolled because I did not have the opportunity to attend to a school in my community" This goes and shows that a school like Lodestar is needed for the community members!

    I don’t want them to close the school because they help me a lot and I don’t want to start over in another school. They’re supportive and they try their best to make the school better and help the whole school community.

    We have two kids in Lodestar and it’s our second year, we have noticed a big change with both of them academically and physically. The staffs and teachers are very friendly and helpful before and during this pandemic. Helping with the students one on one, making sure that they are doing their works and home homework everyday. They go extra miles with our kids and that’s what we need in our community, A school that teachers really CARE for the FUTURES of our community by being there for our kids and our LODESTAR’S families. We feel that way when we are with Lodestar. Please don’t take away that opportunity from our kids, our community and our future’s leaders. We’re here to support and “ROOOOOAR” for all the LODESTAR’S Family. “Go LODESTAR”

    Hello my name is Erika Govea I am in 10th grade and I attend Lighthouse High School. I believe that Lighthouse should remain open because the staff is really nice and the teachers have a lot of patience. The teachers give us many opportunities for programs, scholarships etc. The teachers are very kind and understanding and many students including myself have shown lots of academic growth therefore I believe Lighthouse should remain open.

    My name is Amy Govea and I attend Lighthouse High and I am currently attending my last year. I have been in this school for five years and have experienced a lot of growth through my academics and my writing has gotten so much better. The staff are very friendly and always there to help you with many things. Henceforth I believe Lighthouse Community Charter School should remain open.

    LIGHTHOUSE COMMUNITY PUBLIC SCHOOL.... es una gran escuela porque ayuda a formar a los estudiantes a prepararse para un futuro mejor. ES UNA ESCUELA CON MUCHOS VALORES Y PRINCIPIOS Y UNA HERMOSA DIVERSIDAD DE RAZAS, DONDE CADA CULTURA TRADICION ES MAS QUE RESPETABLE. DONDE TODO MUNDO ES MAS QUE BIEN ACEPTADO. DONDE LOS ESTUDIANTES ESTAN SEGUROS Y PROTEGIDOS ANTE TANTAS ADVERSIDADES DE HOY DIA. TODOS SOMOS UNO MISMO Y SOMOS UNA HERMOSA COMUNIDAD.

    My two sons, ages 8 and 10, both attend Lodestar Charter School. The staff and parents of Lodestar have created a special, inclusive, and supportive community for its students and their families. One of the biggest reasons why I promote Lodestar is because I am a parent of a special needs child. When my child was assessed for school placement, OUSD's "resources" for special needs children gave me only one option - to place my child in a day class for kids with moderate to severe autism with no aide or additional therapies. My son, given the opportunity and appropriate supports at Lodestar, was able (instead) to participate in a regular classroom at Lodestar and make big strides that OUSD didn't even see as possible. Schools should not limit options for children/students, but should be helping them to open doors and make the impossible possible. Please continue to support Lodestar Charter for families like mine. Respectfully, Marcela Fanucchi.

    lighthouse es una comunidad donde los estudiantes siempre están aprendiendo cosas nuevas y también los maestro les brindan mucho apoyo cuando ellos lo necesitan yo en particular tengo como 6 años trayendo a mis hijos a esta escuela y me he sentido cómoda con el apoyo que he recibido sobretodo en esta forma de trabajar a distancia a sido difícil para todos pero siempre con la ayuda de los maestro es un poco más sencillo y también creo que lighthouse siempre tendría que estar abierta por que hay muchos estudiantes que necesitan seguirse preparando y obteniendo los estudios que la escuela les brinda
