| Walk--Get Fit--'Save Our Schools' |
|
| On Your Mark, Get Set, 'Save Our Schools' |
ALERT!!
What happened to the funds from the California Lottery? It was posed to the American people
that the funds would go 'directly to education'; so, why are there major school closures?
The goal is to raise at least $10,000.00
Just imagine if everyone in the Bay Area were to donate just $1, the
youth project would meet and surpass our goal of $10,000.00
$10,000.00 will assist at least 8-10 schools--that's helping over 2,000 students. Just imagine....

President Bush promised a certain amount of funds to be allocated towards education. As it stands, there are still
more schools closing and unfortunately, Charter schools are not necessarily the answer, Books, supplies, and other services
for these elementary and middle school children are needed.
Proceeds go to benefit various schools and afterschool programs to provide individualized peer education, supplies, field
trips and other services and items needed to ensure that these children of the Oakland Bay Area receive Equal Opportunities
for Equal Education.
