For any of you who read this blog and are also connected to the realm of SAES (St. Andrew's Episcopal High School) some major things just happened that you need to be aware of and reacting to. To put it in the shortest way possible: no more middle school dance program, no more dance as part of the arts curriculum (only as elective P.E.). This from a school that prides itself on its "four pillars" of education. Guess that when the economy gets bad, the programs that produce alums that can't donate the big bucks are the first to go...
Anyway. I'll probably talk more about this later, but for now, check out the new blog that we'll be using as a base to gather and network information, and then organize our next step. Even if you're not a SAES alum, i think it's something worth being aware of. First they take our government funding, then our education systems...
Anyway. I can't take this any more. I'm going to try to sleep off the impending sense of impending doom. Check the blog HERE and organize towards action!
