Super good news! Roosevelt students are organizing sandwich making and other goodies for tomorrow, Day 2. They have their own signup genius page and Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/feedtheteachers
Salmon Bay kids are working on a documentary of the strike.
All in all, parents are networking like crazy, working on supporting education and democracy. Kids are getting a big lesson about collective bargaining, democracy and politics. We're getting stronger and energized.
Businesses to thank for their support
- Top Pot donuts
- Starbucks in Fred Meyer on Leary/Starbucks in Wallingford
- The Station coffeeshop on Beacon Hill
- Veraci pizza
- Solid Grounds coffee
- Mighty-O donuts in Tangletown
- Grumpy D in Ballard (use of bathrooms for teachers)
- Safeway in Wedgwood
- Trader Joe's on Capitol Hill
Please thank these businesses for their support of teachers and the schools in their area.
Finally, it was reported to me that Councilman Tim Burgess said at the 36th Dems that he thought Seattle Schools was wrong to vote to authorize legal action against SEA. I'm quite surprised.
