Oustanding work today, folks

We're still counting up the signatures, but we can say with no doubt that Springdale and PHS made today a fine start toward getting the 231,149 signatures that we need state-wide.

The afternoon started at PHS with dozens of staffers clad in their I Helped Make Princeton Excellent shirts (thanks, PACE, for getting those printed, by the way) showing their solidarity and signing the petitions to repeal SB5. We even got a visit and signature from one of our building administrators.

From there we headed to the UDF across the street from Springdale Elementary where nearly the entire Springdale staff found us tucked under shelter from the threatening skies and signed their names to the petitions.

Today was a great show of support, folks, and tomorrow will only be better as we'll be at Princeton Community Middle School's library from 3:15 (if that's the end of the Middle School contract day, it might be 3:30) for an hour.

If anybody from PHS missed their chance today, come on over to PCMS.

If anybody from Springdale missed your chance, come on over to PCMS. We'll wait for you.

If anybody from Glendale or any of the other elementary schools wants to go ahead and sign, come on over.

We're still looking to nail down details of visits to

• Woodlawn and Lincoln Heights (Looks like maybe at The Pike on Friday afternoon)
• Glendale (what about the Friendly Stop so our CO folks can visit, too?)
  
• Heritage Hill (Is there a better option than Crescentville Rec?)
  
• Sharonville (Anybody wanna spend some time in Gower Park?)
• Evendale (Would the church across the way let us hang out for an hour?)
• Stewart (I'm pulling for a shelter house at Francis Recreacres.)

We'll also have the petitions on the sidewalk at the Jazz Band Ice Cream Social at PHS on Monday evening, May 9 if anybody wants to bring some friends in.

We're thinking that an all-Princeton event on the afternoon of May 21 would be a great way to bring the whole district together - friends, families, neighbors, everyone.

Here's my question for you - where is the best public place (park shelter house, rec center, somewhere cheap/free) that we should have a large, district-wide event?

Bonus: Governor Kasich made a proclamation that this week is Public Service Appreciation Week. Seriously.
