Game On community, it’s time to step out of your comfort zone. Our third walk from JOCO to Topeka is later this week and WE NEED YOU. We understand that publicly advocating for our schools is outside the norm for most of us. But desperate times call for desperate measures. We need to get more Kansans in the game and show legislators we’re not satisfied with their handling of our schools and our children. And we have multiple ways to get involved.
1. Walk with us. Join us for the whole walk or join us for a day or part of a day. Comment below so we can keep an accurate count.
2. Join us Friday, March 27 at 9:15 am for a kickoff at Chatlain Park, located off of 63rd Street (Shawnee Mission Parkway) on 63rd Terrace and Carter Avenue in Merriam, KS. Speakers to include Janet Waugh, Kansas State Board of Education, Rep. Stephanie Clayton, Rep. Nancy Lusk.
3. Join us Saturday, March 28, 2015 at 8:30 am for a sendoff at Eudora Elementary School, 801 E. 10th Street, Eudora, Kansas. Speakers will include Eudora Superintendent Steve Splichal.
4. Join us Saturday, March 28 around noon for a rally at South Park hosted by Educate Lawrence. Speakers will include Rep. Tom Sloan and Rep. John Wilson.
5. Join us for the final leg on Monday, March 30 at 9:30. Walkers will gather across the street from Topeka High School and walk a few blocks to the Capitol where we’ll go in for a press conference. Speakers will include Rep. Melissa Rooker and Rep. Jarrod Ousley.
