Please help us get a "STAY OF EXECUTION":
Fact: The Board and administration of
Olentangy Schools has proposed moving music programs
after school to save money!
Fact: Removing the music from the school day is essentially a death sentence for the music programs
Fact: Countless research studies demonstrate that in-school music programs:
- increase intellectual development
- improve test scores
- improve the entire school climate
- increase reading and math scores.
If the program is moved to after school:
- Fewer children will be able to participate
- Parents will suffer undo hardship with logistics and transportation
- Lack of accountability in the classroom will result in inconsistent lessons
- Increased length of day will be stressful for both students and teachers
- Fewer students starting strings will mean even fewer will go on to play in Middle and High School and jeopardizing the entire program.
Fact: Your voice and support can make a difference:
1. Call, write or email our administrators or Board Members;
2. Volunteer to collect names on our Petition of Support ;
3. Attend one of the events or concerts.
- SIGN OUR PETITION
- VOLUNTEER TO COLLECT PETITIONS AT A CONCERT OR EVENT
It is on!
We need your help mobilizing our community response to the proposed "execution" of the music programs at Olentangy Schools.
