Letter of Support

Dear Pocono Mountain School District Board Members,

I am writing to express my full support for the opening of the Pocono Mountain Dual Language Charter School in the Pocono Mountain School District.

I strongly support the school’s mission to nurture curious minds through high quality dual language instruction and community values, as well as its vision of a joyful, inclusive community where students develop bilingualism, academic excellence, and meaningful connections to lead and serve.

The school’s dual language model offers a unique and essential approach to learning. By fostering bilingualism, biliteracy, and cross-cultural understanding from an early age, it equips our students with the cognitive skills and global mindset needed to thrive and contribute back to our local community.

This school will expand vital educational options for local families, and I respectfully ask for your vote in favor of its charter application.

Thank you for your time and continued leadership.
