Dear Emily,

As you can see the Kids Protest Project is going strong ... but we
desperately need schools to step forward to visit Tweed this coming
Thursday and Friday.  Could PS 115 cover one of these days?

The kids could write letters, or make and sign big posters, or do some
other createive protest project.  (see: wwww.kidsprotestproject.org )

We would really appreciate your help.

Regards,

Cynthia

**500+ KIDS' PROTEST LETTERS TO BE HAND-DELIVERED TO TWEED TODAY & MONDAY**


TODAY:  High school students from Murrow and Stuyvesant High Schools
deliver 100+ letters to Tweed at 4:00

For more information see: www.mysidewalkchalk.blogspot.com

Excerpts from Sample letters:

Amal at Stuy:
"No one wants to live in a city where kids cannot get the best education
possible, especially in a city like New York. Budget cuts will affect not
only schools but the entire state and possibly even the whole country."

From Julia at Stuy:
"The LAST thing this city needs right now is to lessen the emphasis on
quality education. It should be the frontrunner, the all important, the
vital key to the very continuation of our city. Children are the future."

MONDAY:

PS 59 students will deliver an astounding 400+ letters from their school
to Tweed at 3:45 while carrying a Huge Protest Banner.

STAY TUNED ...

Next Tuesday - PS 9 and PS 334 at Tweed.
Next Wednesday - Manhattan School for Children AND Scott Stringer at Tweed.
