This letter is an epistolary template for effective parental communication for change within a school system. Beautiful, I hope it gets the attention it deserves.

Every child deserves an advocate to help them navigate the challenges of school and life. Amy, you are one amazing advocate–and parent! I share My Heart Can’t Even Believe It with everyone and anyone who is a parent or who is planning to become a parent. You rock!!

Amy, I have been following you from almost when Sophie was born. Your evolution has been interesting to watch. Good luck with the school. This brings back so many lost battles I had with my daughter’s school. I don’t understand why it’s so freaking hard to treat people right. Again good luck.
(Also if it works, watch whether it closes up again after Sophie has moved on. It’s interesting how that works.)

Amy, Thank You So Much for standing up for your daughter, my cousin Sophie. I wish that things had been different for her in the drama department in her middle school. Yet, in many ways, her middle school experience was 1000% better than mine was. Hopefully the school will change its policies after your experience there. Two big thumbs way up!!!!
