With all the changes occurring in the district combined with the negative press, I bring you a positive story!
A group of
parents, teachers, administration and community members are coming together to
form The Friends of J.S. Jenks (FOJSJ) an independent
fundraising organization for our school (John Story
Jenks Elementary School in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia).
Even though organizing a new group
is time consuming and slow and at times frustrating; these types of actions and
energy are needed. We invite all
supporters of Public Education to join us at our kick-off fundraiser.
