Wallace is were I went to school, and made friends that I still have and still keep in contact with to this day. This school got a new edition yet they closed it. For what? Housing? Really people. Its a school lets keep it that way. This is sooo very upsetting, and all because of an outside source bought it to do what? Lets fight to keep it.

I went to this school for all of my elementary education, the tree on the front part of the building, (facing e 13th) was planted in memory of my sister who passed at 6 years old in 1986. I strongly ask you to reconsider tearing this building down, it has so much potential and so many memories for so many people. Thank you, Megan Mohler

I and my siblings are alumni. I remember practically all of my educators at this school. I still keep in touch with my art teacher from Wallace and I am 38 years old. This place nurtured so many...so many pleasant and positive memories. Wallace was one of the most diverse schools in the Des Moines School District! When I attended we worked hard at remodeling and building additions to that school. It is absolutely heartbreaking to see it's wonderful light dim. Please save the school...the community needs that light!
