Local parents have taken the initiative to organize a rally to protest cuts in the education budget. We are asking members to join this effort and show up before the next school board meeting on Thursday 2/16/2012. We will gather on the public area on the sidewalk along 47th Avenue starting at 5:30 pm. For more information about the rally can be found here:
