Sign Up To Help Schools

You've likely already heard about this by now, but I just got a heads-up email in my in box this afternoon.

Do you know about The Petition Site? It's a website where you can find petitions to sign on any number of topics, from a proposed ban on hunting Swiss cats and exporting their skins (yuck, right?) to promoting the importance of pre-K education.

It's actually pretty interesting (and a total time suck, so be forewarned) to peruse the mind-boggling myriad of petitions that are currently being circulated.

What may be most intriguing to you school types right now though, is this one, which aims to keep Prop 98 in place and stave off the Governator's proposed cuts to education funding.
