PTO Message on Rally for Reach!!
On Thursday November 21, 2013 at 6:00, we will be Rallying at Reach Academy for Girls 170 Lukens Drive, New Castle, DE. We anticipate that there will be media in attendance. Show our girls that Reach matters!!
Wear pink, make a sign, show your support.  You know these girls are learning or you wouldn’t have them at Reach!
Reach Academy  Parents we need you. Our voices need to be heard, 468 students need you to speak out for them. Every one of us has a story of why we are at Reach Academy. You may think yours is not significant, but it is. Write your story down with as many details and facts as possible.

• Maybe your story is that your feeder school is bad and if you choice your daughter, you would have to provide transportation for her to get to a better school, but you can’t. Since Reach has bus service your daughter is able to have a better opportunity at Reach Academy.
• Maybe your daughter had given up on school or even herself and Reach has given her the love and support she needs to try harder and achieve more.
• Maybe your daughters test scores were worse than they are now and though they may not be Meeting proficiency yet you have seen great growth.
• Maybe your daughter experienced something unusual while she was taking the test.
• Maybe you just like that we are an all-girls school.

• It doesn’t matter what your story is they need to hear from ALL of us.

BRING your story with you
Also
 Mail, e-mail or personally deliver it to anyone in power in our state there is a list on the Reach website of just a few under “what’s news”. There are many other people you could send it to that you may know, lawyers, judges, state representative, Joe Biden, other educators that are for our school, definitely Governor Markel. Someone out there knows someone and no one is insignificant!!!
Do not give up!! Your girls need you to fight for them. They need you to stand behind the CHOICE that you make to send your daughter to Reach Academy For Girls.
 You may be that one voice they need to hear from!
BE THERE!
