Comments on: Support Oak Ridge Schools! http://www.atomictumor.com/2006/08/23/support-oak-ridge-schools/ Wed, 19 Nov 2008 12:18:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.2 By: GoldenAppleCorp http://www.atomictumor.com/2006/08/23/support-oak-ridge-schools/#comment-1903 GoldenAppleCorp Wed, 23 Aug 2006 14:27:40 +0000 http://www.atomictumor.com/2006/08/23/support-oak-ridge-schools/#comment-1903 I just recently got home from the preschool. Dr. Phillips pulled me aside and asked if I had a few minutes to talk. We discussed what ACES is doing/planning and what other people in town are doing about the funding (or lack thereof). She made some copies of maps showing school zones and also a sheaf of papers that has every street in Oak Ridge and which school that street "belongs" to. I'm not sure how, if at all, this information may come in handy, but it's good to have it nonetheless. Dr. Phillips also put up the supportoakridgeschools.com address on the dry erase board that parents see when they enter the preschool/administration lobby. And finally, Dr. Phillips put in an order for $40 bumper stickers. She is personally purchasing one for every staff person at the preschool. Looks like we're going to need to order more soon!

How about asking someone in the know...ahem netmom...to find out if it would be proper to send literature home with OR school kids to their parents soliciting donations for bumperstickers? BTW the check is in the mail guys. You should receive my request for a sticker and a donation by tomorrow.

That's a great idea about the flea market, and something that we have been considering. We'd like to make some visual aids, charts, etc to have handy, so once those are in place, I hope that's something we can do. We're also in contact with a couple of school officials to find out more info about getting the word out...hopefully we'll hear back soon. Thanks, Daco!
