If it is mandatory for children to attend school, why don’t we make it mandatory for children everywhere to have a quality education?

Many schools operate without adequate

supplies

Priorities

Health and safety are not

on the list of top priorities.

Transportation proves to be an issue.

Funding for extra-curricular activities are cut.

Education will extend the

initiatives our generation has

started and perhaps develop

worldly systems of their own.

Most importantly, we must be involved.

Do your part by getting involved.

-Donate to school loyalty programs

-Educate yourself on state and federal laws.

-Attend school board meetings.

-Provide your support to teachers.

-Volunteer at your neighborhood school.

-VOTE
