I couldn't go this day without Honouring My Dad, THe Musical Vietnam Veteran, sort of felt like it was my birthday, as I wouldn't be here had he not been discharged honourably from his time in service, in fighting for our Country.
PRayers to ALl who served this country. I also wanted to give much appreciations to our Presenters from Saturdays Language Discussion. SPECIAL APPRECIATIONS TO OUR SPECIAL GUEST WHO SENT A TELEGRAM MESSAGE IN, Our Very Special, and Former School Board President, Sam Davis who also introduced my resolution..
Not Only does the resolution focus on inclusive music and arts education, (with being fully funded) but it also asked for all schools to be free of derrogotory language,. More and More our youths are being impacted, and severely harmed by the use of bad language, not only in their home environments, but within our schools. PLease SPEAK out.

As shared on the prior update, more than 474K in arts funding was carried over, where school sites needing mental health services are struggling, and this funding could be helping them. We continue to ask the board to fully fund the arts.
Urgently, our students need to be in the safest environments. As discussed on our Language Forum, when bad language are in the homes, and in
the communities, this trauma spills into the schools, and is severely impacting our students,and communities, as well as the arts being negatively impacting communities all over the world.
The way we can get back to a culture and save our future, is to get back to respect.
Lives are being Lost, more and more due to verbal altercations and every child deserves to have a loving and safe experience in schools.
Please URGE the board to adopt a culture of respect through the arts and through forbidding hateful words in schools.. Please stand up, and Speak Out.
OUr children need the chance, and it's EVERYONE's Responsibility to STAND UP!!
