As parents who send our children to this school, we believe the institution is an asset to the Owasso community as a whole. The new location, near downtown Owasso, will benefit the city in multiple ways. First, the building's proximity to the newly created Redbud District will bring young families to the downtown area on a daily basis, bringing awareness to this section of town as Owasso strives to grow the Main Street area- Secondly, the renovation of the currently empty building on Atlanta Street will help turn an eyesore into a thriving school community. The fresh life that will be brought to this space through landscaping and daily bustling of the school is undeniable. Montessori Academy of Owasso is a positive school that not only teaches students their academic lessons, it teaches students how to make ,a difference in their community. Elementary students have volunteered at Baptist village, served food at Open Table Cafe; and have multiple other community service projects planned for the upcoming months. Allowing this school to move into a larger building to continue this good work will benefit Owasso immensely. We appreciate your consideration of the next stage in our school's development and we look forward to growing with Owasso in the downtown area_ Sincerely, 7.
