We need to change the direction of this project before it’s too late to save taxpayer money and keep our children safe. 

Why Recess Matters: • Boosts Cognitive Function: Recess provides a mental break that sharpens focus and enhances learning, leading to better academic performance. • Develops Social Skills: Unstructured playtime is essential for practicing cooperation, negotiation, and conflict resolution—skills crucial for their future success. • Improves Emotional Well-being: Physical activity during recess helps reduce anxiety, manage stress, and promotes overall happiness, which is particularly important as students face increasing academic pressures. • Promotes Physical Health: Regular play during recess combats childhood obesity and supports a healthy lifestyle, setting the foundation for lifelong well-being. • Increases Attendance Rates: Schools that prioritize recess see better attendance and more engaged students, leading to a more vibrant and effective learning environment. Recess is essential for the holistic development of our children. We believe that every student at Manhattan Charter School deserves the benefits of daily recess. By reinstating recess for 5th-grade students, we can better support their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. We respectfully request that the administration take immediate action to restore this critical part of the school day for our 5th graders.

Creating these opportunities for families raising deaf and hard hearing children would mean every family member has a place to safely express themselves with other individuals who are in a similar situation.  Our deaf and hard of hearing children can improve their comprehension of spoken language by just adding a visual. Our deaf and hard of hearing children can build confidence in using their voices. Our deaf and hard of hearing children can grow up with more self worth due to stronger relationships with their families.  Florida Hands & Voices is a parent- professional collaborative nonprofit particularly interested in encouraging the benefits of unbiased support to families raising deaf and hard of hearing children.

If you believe that his selfless service should be honored by DPS with a building in his name, we ask that you sign this petition. There is an old saying that we should “give people their flowers while they are alive.”  This saying is so applicable here.  Help us give Mayor Bell his flowers while he is alive.

On behalf of all of Yes Prep North Central’s upperclassmen, activity time is demanded because it helps us deal with the stress that comes with school and helps us get along with our classmates more. It gives us a chance to socialize with them. Having activity time will help us be more connected, more encouraged to do well in school, help us with our mental health, and overall help us have a better school year. Also, not having activity time is putting more stress on teachers because they have to present PowerPoints to students, when other years, during the time of blazer block, we would be enjoying our time in activity time. Activity time has been a part of Yes Prep North Central since we were in 6th grade and it’s always worked well. We promise that it will continue to be that way. Overall, we, as Yes Prep North Central’s upperclassmen, believe that activity time should be granted to us.

It’s important for the well being and safety of our children. Especially all that is going on in the world it would be deficient not to do so. 

 Student Comfort and Well-being: The ability to choose what to wear can significantly impact students' comfort and well-being. If students are uncomfortable, it can affect their focus and performance in school.

It is important for the Class of 2025 to have a memorable and enjoyable final experience at their home stadium. To make this happen, we need your support in advocating for our graduation to be held at the McAllen Veterans Memorial Stadium instead of the convention center. Please help us make our seniors' wishes come true by signing this petition. Thank you for your support!

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!!!!❤️
