Red for Public Ed!

Welcome back!  I hope everyone had a great summer!  Like me, you probably worked a summer job or took classes or both!  And also like me, you are probably very upset by recent General Assembly actions.  I was in mourning for almost two weeks, in mourning for the children of the Great North State and for their future which was jeopardized.  But we can have a voice!  Help all teachers and students be heard...Wear Red for Public Ed!  NCAE is encouraging all teachers, families, and students to wear red on the first day of school and every Wednesday to get the attention of our legislators, who should be representing us, to ask them to reconvene and correct the serious damage the current budget wreaks on public education!  Show how you feel...WEAR RED FOR PUBLIC ED!
