KIM WARNOCK RROOFROOF!

Dear Ramona Realtors;

This is Casey and Caedon from Olive Peirce Middle School and representing Friends of Ramona Unified Schools. We write to inform you that FORUS is trying to fix the disordered roofs throughout Ramona Unified School District which affect all of the students and people in our community.

When potential home buyers come to Ramona, the first thing many look at is our schools. If schools are in bad shape with visible problems on the outside, it makes people worry about bigger problems on the inside.

As an example, our gym at OPMS is in really bad condition. When it rains, water leaks and forms mold. We can get sick from lung and sinus infections from mold. Mold can also cause headaches and trouble with learning. The rain will also go through and destroy the flooring , and that will affect us in Physical Education such as basketball, volleyball, and many other sports.

This winter break, the district is going to fix some of the worst roofs at Ramona Elementary and Ramona High School. But they cannot afford to fix all disordered roofs in the district. This is why FORUS is trying to raise money to help get our school roofs back in shape. As you may know, we have put almost 100 donation canisters throughout Ramona businesses, to reach out to the public for help.

As student ambassadors of FORUS, we are reaching out to the Realtors of Ramona especially for help with our Roof Project. Schools in better shape will bring more people up to live in Ramona. We would very much appreciate a donation from you. Please mail your check to “ Friends of Ramona Unified Schools—ROOF PROJECT” care of Mr Dave Patterson, Roof Project Chair, 1003 Sixth St; Ramona, Ca 92065. Also you could drop off your donation at the Ramona Sentinel office on weekdays. We will recognize your donation in the Ramona Sentinel and the Ramona Patch. If you have any questions you can email Mr Patterson at dpatterson998@yahoo.com . Thank you.

Sincerely,

Caedon Barraclough-Keith Casey Martinez
