[TNS-list] Reminder: March 19 Keep the Promises Rally at City Hall

[Brenda Hill]

You've all received the e-mails over the last few weeks urging you to  
join other Neighborhood School families and all the other city  
schools down at City Hall on Wednesday to rally against city and  
state school budget cuts.  It's important that we come out in force  
to show how upset we are that our children's funding is being taken  
away at the same time that large corporate contracts are still thriving.

Show them how you feel !! Come to the RALLY !!

> classroom that our school children need if we are to succeed in  
> getting the next generation ready for college and the challenging  
> 21st century workforce. These promises were not political campaign  
> promises — they were budgetary commitments that were enacted into
