Schools should allow phones because they can be used as powerful tools for learning, giving students quick access to online resources and information. Phones help students stay organized with apps for calendars, reminders, and notes, which can improve their academic performance. In emergencies, having a phone allows students to contact parents or guardians immediately, ensuring their safety. Phones also prepare students for the future by teaching them how to use technology responsibly. With clear rules, phones can be a valuable asset in the classroom rather than just a distraction. Just because growing up y’all didn’t have no technology to help y’all doesn’t mean we have to endure it, too. It’s 2024 , it’s a new day and age. You might not like it but it’s time for change. Technology is a big part of our everyday lives!

The safety and wellbeing of our children is a priority! 

In light of her contributions and the profound impact she had on our community, it is imperative that we join in this campaign to rename our street to Dr. Daniela Small-Bailey Way. Her unwavering commitment to education and her passion for fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment have left an indelible mark on our schools. Her genuine care for each student ensured that every child felt valued and supported, making a lasting impact on countless lives. Her legacy of humor, kindness, leadership, and dedication will always be remembered and cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing her.  Honoring her in this way will serve as a perpetual reminder of the extraordinary person she was and the values she championed, inspiring future generations to follow in her footsteps. We should join in this campaign to change the Englewood street sign “Durie Avenue” to “Dr. Daniela Small-Bailey Way” to properly showcase our devout appreciation and celebration of her love to the children of our community. Your support would be invaluable in ensuring that we properly honor Dr. Daniela Small-Bailey’s legacy. By renaming “Durie Avenue”, we not only recognize her contributions but also keep her spirit alive in our community. Thank you for your attention to this matter. It is time to stand behind this great leader and honor her name.  Thank You

People should join this campaign for change to support all of our families of Pineville High School. This is so important because many student’s families don't have the financial resources to follow this dress code. The dress code was sent out very late and many students have already bought their uniforms. I feel that if I were a parent of a child that attended PHS, I would be very upset and stressed that we are now finding this out 10 DAYS BEFORE school. I have talked to many of my friends about this, and some even mentioned that they will not be following this dress code because they have already bought all of their uniforms. I think that if Pineville High School had such a big problem with our dress code they should have told us before summer. Thank y’all for understanding!  GO REBELS!!!!❤️

Because we students need our privacy, too.

The proposed zoning ordinance would make changes to eliminate unnecessary administrative burdens and fees for home-based providers, align Detroit zoning regulations for child care to similar business entities, and facilitate greater community collaboration for child care options to expand in a given community.  High-quality child care is crucial to ensure healthy, thriving families, children, and communities: • Early childhood education sets kids up for successful futures with lasting academic benefits well beyond high school; • Child care enables parents to remain in the labor force, increasing household income, boosting economic productivity, and benefiting their community, while ensuring that infants and toddlers are in a safe and nurturing environment; and; • Availability of child care facilities and services helps communities grow by attracting new residents – especially young families – and businesses whose employees need child care options.

Nobody should be making decisions for parents on what their children can and cannot read. Currently, the KGMS library has a "sexually explicit" section which includes titles such as "Romeo & Juliet" and "Anne Frank's Diary". It is clear the intent is not to protect children but censor their access to themes and ideas they don't agree with. If you want to let the King George School Board and King George Board of Supervisors know that you don't agree with letting other people decide what your child may or may not read, please sign the petition below. 

If you see Shamar (Shimmy) in the hallway and out and about in the Middletown area, and either he speaks to you or you speak to him does he put a smile on your face. Would you miss him in the hallways, or at the basketball game taking pictures, or going with the track team just to help out. I believe everyone knows Shamar AKA (Shimmy). Let’s make this go viral so he can finish out his last year of High School @ Middletown High School North, not Keansburg High School 

As I stated before it is important for us high-schoolers to be able to communicate with our parents for when we feel is necessary. I completely understand the abuse of phones, but as high-schoolers we are old enough to take the responsibility of our consequences for abusing our phones if we even do so. 

Simply terminating our teachers is not a viable solution. Such actions not only send a negative message but also create significant gaps in the safety and support structures that are crucial for our students’ well-being.

By signing this petition, we express our support for Professor Jemma Elliot and Dr. Matthew Bennett and call for the PGI leadership to recognize and respond to our critical concerns. Sincerely, [In signing, please include your name and affiliation with PGI: Student/Faculty/Staff/Alumni/Prospective Student/Anonymous]

Empowering the Future - A Call to Lower the Age to Run for President Dear Fellow Citizens, Our nation stands at a crossroads, facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities. In this moment, we must harness the full potential of every citizen, regardless of age. I am writing to you today to advocate for a cause that is not just about me, but about empowering an entire generation of young Americans who are ready to lead, innovate, and create a brighter future for us all. It is time to lower the age requirement to run for president and give young voices the platform they deserve. Why It Matters 1. Fresh Perspectives and Innovative Solutions The younger generation brings fresh ideas and a keen understanding of modern challenges such as climate change, technological advancement, and social justice. Our nation needs leaders who can think outside the box, who are not bound by outdated paradigms but are eager to explore new solutions. By lowering the age requirement, we open the door to innovative policies that address today’s most pressing issues with the urgency and creativity they demand. 2. Representation for All Generations Youth make up a significant portion of our population, yet their voices are often underrepresented in the highest levels of government. This imbalance means that the concerns and aspirations of young people are not fully reflected in national policies. By allowing younger candidates to run for president, we ensure that our leadership is truly representative of all generations, leading to a more inclusive and balanced approach to governance. 3. Energy and Determination Young leaders are driven by passion and determination to make a difference. They are not yet jaded by the status quo and are often more willing to challenge existing systems to create meaningful change. This energy is essential for tackling long-standing issues that previous generations have struggled to resolve. It is time to infuse our political system with the vigor and ambition of youth. Why You Should Support This Movement 1. A New Era of Leadership Supporting the movement to lower the age requirement for presidential candidates is about more than just changing a number. It is about ushering in a new era of leadership that is responsive, dynamic, and attuned to the needs of a rapidly changing world. It is about believing in the potential of our youth to rise to the occasion and lead with integrity and vision. 2. Bridging Generational Divides Lowering the age requirement fosters greater understanding and collaboration between generations. It encourages mentorship and the sharing of wisdom between older and younger leaders, creating a more cohesive and united society. By bridging these divides, we can work together more effectively to build a prosperous future for all. 3. Fixing What Past Generations Couldn't There are persistent issues that have been passed down from generation to generation, unresolved and festering. It is time to give the younger generation the chance to tackle these problems with fresh eyes and new approaches. By supporting this movement, you are empowering young leaders to address and fix the challenges that past generations have struggled to overcome. Why Choose Me I stand before you as a representative of this movement, ready to champion the cause of youth empowerment and lead with dedication and purpose. My commitment to this cause is unwavering, and I am prepared to work tirelessly to ensure that our voices are heard. Here is why you should choose me to spearhead this movement: 1. Passionate Advocate for Change I have always been driven by a deep passion for making a positive impact in our society. My experiences have equipped me with the knowledge and determination to advocate effectively for this cause. I am committed to fighting for the rights and representation of young people in the political arena. 2. Proven Leadership Throughout my life, I have demonstrated leadership in various capacities, whether it be in community organizations, educational institutions, or advocacy groups. I have a track record of bringing people together, building consensus, and driving meaningful change. I am ready to bring this experience to the national stage. 3. Vision for the Future I envision a future where age is not a barrier to leadership, where young people are empowered to bring their unique perspectives to the forefront of national policy. I am committed to creating an inclusive and forward-thinking government that truly reflects the diversity and potential of our nation. Join the Movement This is a pivotal moment in our nation’s history. Together, we can create a future where every voice is heard, and every citizen has the opportunity to lead. I ask for your support in this movement to lower the age requirement to run for president. Let us stand together, empower our youth, and fix what past generations couldn't. Thank you for believing in the power of young leadership. Together, we can make history. Sincerely, West Abadie
