Flatiron students have read to my dog Greta for the last two years as an Alliance of Therapy Dog team. I've seen first hand what an asset Flatirons Elementary is to a population of students with a wide range of strengths and challenges. The faculty there is a dedicated group who have made a real difference in these students lives. I understand the pressures that exist in Boulder but I hope this school can remain open to continue to serve both these wonderful students and all of BVSD.
