On February 9, 1931, Laura Cook, a teacher at St. Louis school, wrote a letter to the Loudoun County School Board expressing concerns about the overcrowded conditions of the school. With 71 students in attendance, the lack of space and resources was hindering her ability to give each child the necessary attention. Cook, along with a group of parents and friends of the school, requested an extra room and another teacher for the next school term to alleviate these issues. The letter, signed by a number of concerned individuals, outlined the urgent need for improved conditions at the school and sought approval and support from the school board.
