Advocate for funding Alaska’s schools

Steller Families,

Please join Steller Parent Group in holding our leaders accountable for funding Alaska’s schools.

There is more to do!

Please write your legislators, if you care about:
  • maintaining student classroom sizes
  • retaining good teachers
  • having school nurses
  • sports programs
  • gifted programming
  • school counselors
  • a quality education for your children
  • and so many other programs that require more funding
Also, encourage your kids to do the same – Legislatures actually listen to kids!
 

The House will vote on HB 69 to increase the BSA this week!

HOW TO ADVOCATE – MADE EASY

  1. Just click on the “public opinion message” Click on “Support” and root bill “HB 69”, then say a few words about why you support increased funding to our schools.
  2. Sign the Great Alaska Schools Petition to the governor.
  3. Call your representative.  
  4. Email your representative. (Rep.FirstName.LastName@akleg.gov)
  5. Learn more and find Talking Points at greatakschools.org

Cups for Kids Fundraiser – UPDATE

Thank you so much to all who have donated to this year’s annual fundraiser! 

We’re off to a good start, with over $2500 in donations!

For 2 more days, students & SPG will be delivering coffee and cocoa to your car during drop-off & pick-up.  Please take a flyer home and consider donating the suggested amount of $120/student in order for SPG to make our goal of $16,000.

As an example of how your donated funds are put to work, at last night’s SPG meeting, nearly $6000 in funding requests were approved by Members in order to reduce the costs of Intensives this December (many becoming FREE) and toward special student-led projects (like the Weight Room).

Prizes! – If you donate online or by check (or, if you give us your name when you donate cash), you’ll be entered into a random drawing for a special bag of amazing  goodies.

Big thank you to Steam Dot for supplying cups, coffee, and for adding to the prize bags!

NOTE: If you’ve already donated, you’re not interested in coffee/cocoa, and you prefer not to be bothered, put your flyer on your dashboard and we’ll pass you by.
