We were excited to hear from a parent at Dovercourt Public School that they are planning to attend the May 9th Education Rally as a group with their children! And they plan on making it FUN! Check out their ideas and, despite the short notice for this event, see if you and some others from your school can organize even a small group of 7-15 people to come after school to attend the May 9th Education Rally (organized by ETFO).
What Dovercourt Public School is planning!
- We’re dressing up as members of the Justice League – super heroes – to connect with the Social Justice League team at our school and make it fun for our children!
- We’re planning to augment our costumes with construction themed items like hard hats and hammers to indicate how much FIXING is needed at our school and others in our community.
- A few parents are making placards that say, It’s time to FIX OUR SCHOOLS
- We’re meeting after school on May 9th at Dovercourt school to organize placards, talk to our kids about the purpose/issues/civic actions, put on hats/costumes
- We’re departing from Dovercourt school by 4:00pm and walking together to Dufferin subway station.
- We’ll get off at Bay subway station and walk south on Bay Street (West Side) to Bay & Wellesley St West to the location for the Education Rally, 900 Bay Street
- We’re bringing some snacks to share to make this a fun activist learning event for our kids and to send a message that the next provincial government must prioritize publicly funded schools and education!
