"Whatever you all choose to do be sure those girls are walking out feeling empowered and CONFIDENT and taught by women who not only look like them but understand where they’re coming from living in North Omaha--no exceptions on that!"
"Thank you for bringing a new middle school for girls in North Omaha! I hope it opens doors for a better way to educate and care for all children in Omaha because change has to start somewhere."
"It takes a village, so I'm excited to see you are including the village in this process! Keep it up!"
"Our girls deserve schools created with them in mind. It is time to close the achievement gap and make sure our students thrive"
"We need successful Black women on the board of education for the school so the students can see first hand what they have the potential to achieve."
"Educating our children should include educators, community advocates, and parents to effectively provide an appropriate learning experience with representation of students in teachers, administrative roles, and leadership."
"I think that it’s important to hold our students up to higher standards. In [other] school districts they are learning more complex curriculum while [our current neighborhood] schools aren’t unless you are in an honors class which is nearly equivalent. I don’t think it’s because of a lack of intelligence rather a lack of believing in our kids."
"I like the idea of a middle school for girls to develop the young girls to be leaders in the community, promote healthy self-esteem, encourage our young girls that dreams can become reality with hard work and dedication. There has to be the right dynamics in place to achieve this for young girls in North Omaha."
