URGENT:: Oak Ridge Elementary School

Dear friends and family,
I haven’t yet had a chance to divulge just how much Oak Ridge Elementary School means to both my husband and I, but I will do so shortly. I want to introduce you to more of our beliefs with Equal Start and Be Change in a new post soon, and share my experiences with my sweet sixth grader, Julieanna. For today, as it is incredibly urgent, please take a moment to read this message from my good friend, Jason Haper. Nick and I will be at the meeting Monday night (cameras in hand …) – if you can join us, I promise you – you will not regret it!
Thank you for taking the time to support the families of Oak Park, and the plight of our inner-city children.

So much love,
Jimae
