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

supplies

6. Priorities
Health and safety are not
on the list of top priorities.

7. Transportation proves to be an issue.

9. Funding for extra-curricular activities are cut.

15. Education will extend the
initiatives our generation has
started and perhaps develop
worldly systems of their own.

25. Do your part by getting involved.
-Donate to school loyalty programs
-Educate yourself on state and federal laws.
-Attend school board meetings.
