To: Kankakee Valley Little Gridiron, Executive Board
Kankakee Valley Little Gridiron-Gridiron Joe Award
The re-opening of the Gridiron Joe deadline is unfair to the applicants that took the time and applied on time. Parent complaints is not a good reason to open the award again because the 6th grade players knew about it.
Why is this important?
The re-opening goes against what the award is about, which is leadership. It's not fair to the kids who applied on time. The parents can't say they didn't know about it, because I myself talked to the kids and they said they didn't want to write the essay. Me and my sister asked to have a meeting with them to explain how we felt and we haven't gotten a response on a meeting. Help us get our message to them. (Note: This petition is written by a 12 year old but sponsored by a legal adult 18 years or older) UPDATE 10/14/13: We got a message that we could have a meeting either tonight or tomorrow (10/15/13) night with only 2 of the members of the board. We are waiting until all 3 members of the board are present like we asked. It is important that all people that made the decision to reopen the deadline are there.
