The Village Santa Ana Specific Plan Project <br />ubj ect: Support for the Segerstrom Family — Their Generosity Saved Our C hildren's <br />Arts Education <br />Lear Santa Ana Planning Commissioners, <br />I am writing as a parent of a 4th grader at Santiago Elementary School to express my <br />heartfelt gratitude to the Segerstrom Family. Several years ago, our beloved performing <br />arts program — the only er<enwntary school prog rom of its kind in all of Orange County <br />— was on the brink of disappearing. Without immediate funding, it would have ceased <br />to esdst. <br />Thanks to the generous donation from the Segersrroni Family, the program not only <br />survived but flourished. Their support gave us the critical bvo years we needed to secure <br />grants and additional funding to keep it going. Today, my child and hundreds of others <br />are learning confidence, teamwork, and creath itythrough the arts because of their gift. <br />This is not just a program; it's a lifeline for students who might otherwise never have <br />this opportunity. Please know the Segerstrom Family's contributions have had a <br />profound and lasting impact on our school and community. <br />Sincerely, <br />Lux Suazo <br />Santiago Elementary School <br />City of Santa Ana <br />113-2 <br />August 2025 <br />37 <br />
