    I am very much in support of this new school building it’s beautiful and will fit in nicely with the architecture of the town square. We are currently residents of Bartlett and are moving out here and building a house to have our children closer to the school. It will also allow for a much easier and safer after school pick up of children

    This is a much needed building which will be a wonderful upgrade from what is currently in place. We have a child at MSGA and are looking to move to Collierville for this wonderful school!

    I wholeheartedly support the plans for this building. As the only gifted school in the state and surrounding area, MSGA is an enormous asset to Collierville. The building is aesthetically pleasing and a huge improvement to the existing lot and structures.

    This is the most amazing school in existence in the entire county. We spend a lot of time and money in Collierville businesses as a result of having a student enrolled in this school! It continues to grow just from word of mouth because it is offering a student-centered education that can NOT be found anywhere else and this beautiful new building is desperately needed to help other students reap the benefits of this incredible educational experience! Approving these plans also improves the area!

    I support this project because I have seen the school improve my son’s school experience tremendously as well as the experience of many of his classmates. It fills a need not only in Collierville, but for this region. It has attracted families to move here and to drive into Collierville from surrounding areas thereby benefiting other businesses in Collierville.

    When we moved to TN over the summer, we specifically chose Collierville knowing that our 4th grader would attend MSGA. We also chose to enroll our middle schooler. They have provided our children a wonderful education fit for their unique needs. I am hopeful this expansion will move forward, continuing to expand MSGA’s ability to provide quality education to gifted children.

    Fully support this amazing school that has made such a difference in the life of our children and is the reason we relocated to Collierville from Olive Branch after 12 years. The building and plans are beautiful and in line with the architectural historic district and will help alleviate traffic, parking and safety.

    I support this proposal wholeheartedly! This school has kept us in Collierville. MSGA is a wonderful place and is a real benefit to this community. This building will allow them to continue and expand their excellent work. And what an improvement this building will be to the corner of East South and Center streets.

    I support this request. When we relocated from WA state to TN three years ago, we chose to live in Collierville because we wanted our kids to attend MSGA. My three kids have received wonderful educations at MSGA. Please support MSGA’s growth for the benefit of our children and our community! Thank you
