Online Petition for Budget Cuts to Education

Hello Parents,

As you know, California is hit with a huge budget deficit and we will all be impacted in various areas especially education.

Fremont Unified is potentially going to cut $25 million from their operating budget. Since about 80% of their budget is personnel our school will potentially lose teachers, librarians, counselors, custodians, office staff etc.. This will impact programs, and increase class sizes. The overall foundation of our schools will be shifted and very hard to restore even if we recover the funds in the years ahead.

PTA's and other organizations are doing all they can to convince the Senators and Legislators that cuts to education breakdown the infrastructure that is important to a successful academic experience for our kids. Cuts made in any category have tremedous impact on the quality of education delivered and the also to the institution delivering the education.

This is the time when we all need to come together and do our part. You can begin by signing this petition and calling your legislators. Phone calls speak volumes and a united voice is what is needed.

Let's do what we can to save what we have.

DEADLINE for this petition is FEB 15th. So far we only have about 1000 signatures. Please foward to friends and family members, anyone from Alameda county can sign this petition.

Thank you

Anjana Desai
Thornton Jr. High PTSA President.

AMERICAN HIGH FUNDRAISER

Dear Mrs. Rugg,

Thank you for allowing CSF to put up posters around Ardenwood
Elementary. We hope you can come out and support us.
Our Round Table Fundraiser is February 9, 2009 from 5-9pm at the
Round Table located on Deep Creek/Paseo Padre.

The purpose of the American High School chapter of the California
Scholarship Federation Club is to engage in active school service by
means of student involvement, scholarships, fundraisers, and
activities that promote and recognize high standards of scholarship,
service and citizenship on the part of students in California
schools. We will also try to encourage academic awareness in the AHS
Student body.

CSF recognizes high school students with high standards in academic
scholarship, community service, and citizenship. It is recognized by
colleges and universities throughout CA. Active members qualify for
the Gold Sealbearer distinction, receive pins, and earn scholarships
their senior year when they graduate. CSF motivates students to
serve and be involved in their community while also rewarding good
grades.


I hope this provides you with a small idea of what CSF at American
High School is like.

I would appreciate if you could forward this to anyone interested in
finding out more about CSF or the Round Table Fundraiser.
Please let me know if you have any questions!


Thank you again!!

Janis Chan
