Thanks for the Support!

Thank you to everyone who took the time today to show support for public schools! Strong community support is important to maintaining successful public schools. When studies show that 76% of parents are either satisfied or very satisfied with their local public schools, it's hard to believe the hype that the public school system in America is failing. Let's fix the small percentage of schools that are failing without throwing all the successful ones under the bus. We can't just sit back and watch as organizations try to transfer our public dollars into their private pockets. 

If you're proud of your local public school, or know a teacher, paraprofessional, counselor, librarian, nurse, custodian, principal, administrative assistant, engineer, cafeteria worker, bus driver, or anyone else who helps to drive the engine of our public schools, then remember to thank them. (Or just share or like this post and maybe they'll see it.) :D

Sincerely,
