TO THE LOUDOUN COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD:
We the undersigned citizens of the Unison-Bloomfield community do earnestly beseech the School Board to rebuild our school for the following reasons:
This is decidedly an established and growing agricultural section which would be grievously handicapped without a school as its center.
This is too large an area to leave without an elementary school. If the Unison-Bloomfield School is not rebuilt there will be no school in Upper Loudoun between the two highways.
Unison-Bloomfield is the center of several communities which need improved school facilities. These communities are: Trappe, Llangollen, Blakely Grove, Leithton, Mountville and Philamont.
