Your support would mean so much to our community. Thank you!

Spread the Link as Far as Possible

Ask Local Businesses and Organizations to Help
Community groups, churches, and local businesses are often willing to support causes that benefit families. Ask them to share the link or display a flyer to help us reach a wider audience.

Our Goal: 500+ Signatures by Day 7
We’re so close to breaking through 500 signatures—let’s make it happen! Every additional supporter helps strengthen our case and demonstrates the overwhelming need for an extended winter break.

Thank you for all the energy, passion, and dedication you’ve already given to this effort. Together, we can make a real difference for students, staff, and families across our district.

Let’s keep pushing forward!

With gratitude,
Nick Mitchell
