Well, we are slowly approaching the rally and I am seeing that LOTS of supporters are talking on facebook and even fliers are being handed out at school. Way to go guys! A petition was started at the high school, and as of Monday, had almost 300 signatures!
Now, for those of you attending the board meeting, I would like to remind you of some things, that I'm SURE you already know!
-This is actually a BUDGET meeting, so it is the people in charge of the budget from the board.
-Please be courteous to everyone, we are asking them to help us, and coming across harshly is not helping.
-Please understand that there is the meetig, and there is a RALLY, they are different. No signs or instruments can go INTO the meeting, as of respect for the members.
You guys are getting the wordout really well, me and Kaila never knew it would do this good! The final budget will be out around June 30th, so we have until then to change the board's mind.
Something Mr. Farris stated, COME WITH OTHER SUGGESTIONS!!! It's Molalla, and they don't have an unlimeted supply of money, so they WILL need to cut some things, so instead of "keep band" maybe say "we should keep bandbecause it helps students, maybe we should cut out ________", that would be much more helpful to them, I'm sure.
Also, here are a list of some of the current electives (aside from bandand choir) offered in place of these programs, and a quick description.
Dreamworks vs. Pixar - Students watch movies andcompare the two.
Card games/ board games - These TWO classes teach you how to play games.
Basketball - This is pretty self explanitory...
Yoga - They do YOGA.
Debate and Mock Trial - You debate and have fake court trials.
