Mark 2/15 on your calendars
We are making progress! A group of us have been meeting from the beginning - and honestly are touched by all of you, vaccinated or not, that are supporting this and our kids! Thank you!
We are approaching 400 signatures. The exciting part, is the student body is starting to respond. The MOST important population we need backing this.
There is power in numbers and comfort. Even my own kids were hesitant to push the petition to their peers. “What will my friends think?” “Will people get mad at me?” All very real, emotions and concerns for teens especially.
We could sky rocket this to over a 1000 easily if everyone that has signed just gets one or two new people to sign it!
Some ideas on how to get there:
- Send a personal text to friends with the petition link.
- Send an email to a group of people asking them to consider supporting the cause with the petition link.
- Post petition on your social media accounts
- ✨ Encourage your kids to share with friends and share to their stories. Imagine the social media wave of Nisky support that would occur if they all put it on their stories today! ✨
February 15 is the target board meeting to present the petition. We are hoping this gives time for the petition to reach many people in and around Niskayuna, and would be before the spring seasons begin. Also we are really hoping that families and students can mark their calendars and show up in person to the meeting. Imagine the impact having a large group of the student body, in their Niskayuna sports sweatshirt, filling the room and helping present this petition to the BOE.
Feel free to reach out with any questions or thoughts. WE CAN DO THIS!!!!
