I tag: Anyone who agrees with my opinion on the serious matter below.
Sigh. Serious matter time. Last Friday, my friends and I heard a rumor that because of the budget they were going to have to close our school. And it's true. Or at least, that's what the school board will be voting on. Up until today we've just been trying to figure out the facts as there are a couple stories out there. But there was one school board meeting yesterday and another tonight and after watching a recap on last nights it's looking so-so. The superintendent is avidly promoting the cuts, but many members who have spoken seem to think that it's too fast, and that we actually do have a 4.5 million surplus in a "rainy-day fund"! So we don't know. Let me tell you a bit about our school. It was built by the WPA during WWII in 1924 and is the sturdiest school, in the town. For some reason, they want to move all the middle school kids across town where there is less room and serious deterioration. Odd, isn't it? Our school doesn't have mold. Our school is, well, our school. And even though I'm not going to be one moved, I still care. The stories that have been kept alive through the years will be.........gone. But we're running out of time. The vote will be held next Monday, the 8th. Bloggers, please. You may have gone to some of these bloggers blogs: Super Gato, Bella, Ripplestar, Anna13, Elránia, Hannah. Keep us in your thoughts.

:'( I HATE the budget reeaally badly. It makes me sad.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. :( Maybe you and your friends can get together and do a fund rasier. Just an idea.
no kidding ripplestar.....
idk glow fish. that's what we would do to raise extra $ for band trips, etc. but we don't think that it can save a school. i think we're thinking more along the lines of marching down to city hall with big signs and letting them know what the *students* really think.
Ohhhh noooo... they'd move you to MEMORIAL?! Omigosh! No! {other bloggers, I went to Memorial before we moved because the school was so bad.} Oh no... Calling you today after school...
BTW, that 'tag' was actually Abigal from Rear Window's blog party thingy.
okay, so here's the deal. even though *the other school in the city that shall remain nameless* does have a lot more space than our school (yes, it does), kids would have to be going to school in 6 giant portable classrooms. sadly (and quite pathetically), both schools have serious fire hazards, even if ours does have bomb shelters. and the high school is about to collapse, it's in such bad shape.
but i went to a budget meeting and it's looking pretty tight. so i dare say it might be inevitable that our school will close, however preposterous it might sound.
Oh no!! I'll keep you all in my prayers and thoughts, definitely!
I'm also having a little idea streak on my blog Summer Girl and I need feedback from my beloved readers! I was wondering if you wanted to stop by and drop me a comment. If this is advertising, I apologize - you can delete or ignore this comment. I just wanted to give you all the heads-up. Thanks!
