My son has been lucky enough to spend time with Ms. Kelly in her after school program. It would be a shame to lose this service on site and Ms. Kelly.

Looking forward to hearing possible solutions.

She has been providing acceptional quality child care and after school programs at reduced rates for our children at Bowser Elementary. I have seen her with our children and I can't think of a better teacher for young minds to start with to head into kindergarten and elementary. Kelly goes over and above. She helps with school functions like the lunch programs when they need help and has been with the d-pac for some time as well. She is there to speak on behalf of the parents for the parents and she does her job well. My daughter has been in her preschool program, also on one occasion I have had to utilize her after school program in an emergency situation as I live in Courtenay. I know that I can count on Kelly when my children need someone there. And I will need her next year as I will be attending school myself. She has had quite a few of the children in her programs over the years and not only does she prepare them for school she helps watch over all the children that attend bowser elementary even when nobody even notices. Kelly is not just a caregiver/educator she is a valued member of our community and should be respected as such. Keep Kelly Wray!

They got to know how to use the library...they got to know teachers and the principal...and we're included in school activities like talent show...movie night...Christmas concert. On the first day of kindergarten you knew which ones were from Miss Kelly's class. They were the ones with their coats and backpacks hung up....inside shoes on and sitting on the carpet ☺ I think she is a huge part of BES and our community. She needs to stay

If this program were to go away, we would be seriously inclined to leave the area. We have talked about a move many times, but it's the access to the elementary school just down the street that is a huge contributing factor to keeping us here. We own a house and a business in bowser and have made this our home for 4 years and we would hate to be pushed out by a decision that has no regard for the future young population of this growing area. We're finally starting to see a population of young people settle here and to take away something that is so integral to their successful existence in this area is crazy.

My son, my niece and my nephew, as well as countless school friends have benefited from the Preschool/Kindergarten Readiness program at BES. We are a rural community that does not have the benefit of the services that larger communities have. I worry that the loss of these programs at our school will impact our school population and that impact will put our school at risk of closure in the future which would be disastrous for the entire Bowser community. Please reconsider and help us figure out a way to keep the preschool program alive at BES.
