Urgent Budget Action Notice "Cut$ Hurt"
Your PTO urges you to contact your legislature to let them know how you feel about the budget cuts.  Please feel free to use the template letters provided below and add your personal story.  The key decision makers contact information is also provided.

As one voice, we can make a difference and let decision makers in Lansing know how we feel and how these cuts are going to impact our most valuable, important asset in the state – our children.



Please join our  our efforts and have a “Cut$ Hurt” postcard writing event at your school Tuesday, May 10th! If you you would like postcards to hand out, please email: molly@cavegirl.us.

Yours truly,
Jennifer B., Molly, Jennifer T. & Kathie, Marcy, Tim & Mary
