r. Ab;1�1. - <br />Dear Planning Committee, <br />I'm a Santa Ana resident and a staff member at Vista Global <br />Academy. I live in Ward 5. I'm supporting Vista's building <br />project because I feel that the students need a space to enjoy the <br />outdoor environment and explore nature. I appreciate Vista as a <br />school because each classroom is named after a country and the <br />stairway has hello written in the country language. Engaging the <br />students in a global orientation helps the students know more <br />about the country. Vista has done so much for the community. <br />For example, having food drives, toy drives and resource fairs, <br />dental services for students, ect. Many families attend the food <br />drives every Saturday morning and last Friday of the month. The <br />food drive benefits so many families in the Vista community by <br />giving out frozen meat patties, fresh fruit and vegetables. Also, a <br />special box program every last Friday of the month. Having the <br />parents engage and learn more about student school by coming <br />in and having a coffee with the principals. Parents can ask <br />questions about the school or how they can help their student <br />outside of school. I want Vista to have a safe, enclosed outdoor <br />field space for the students to have fresh air and a mindful <br />environment to mentally prepare themselves for class. <br />Embracing the liberty that the students don't have in a school <br />site to spend time with friends enjoying the outdoor <br />environment. Having an outdoor field space will encourage <br />students to join a sport or even have a spot to play a sport that <br />can't be played indoors. Having a community garden will <br />benefit the students a lot because it shows the effort each student <br />City Council <br />26 — 662 1 /16/2024 <br />
