Quick message from a student at Seward Academy<br>To: Nancy Ibarra <<a href="mailto:nvibarra@cps.edu">nvibarra@cps.edu</a>><br></div><br><br><div dir="ltr">Hello my name is Mia Tamayo, I go to William Seward Elementary. Earlier this year Holy Cross Church across from my school destroyed the community garden to make a parking lot. Our 8th grade classes are trying to convince the priest from the church to stop destroying the garden to make the parking lot. Our garden has been there for ages, the garden means a lot to us, a lot of family and friends made so many memories there. Our 8th grade classes are trying to rebuild the garden. We are wondering if you all would be nice enough to donate tulip bulbs or anything you prefer that we could plant in our garden. We are still waiting for an answer from the priest so we can continue planting hopefully soon. Please, and thank you! I hope to hear from you soon.<i></i></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div>Mia Tamayo</div>
