*Grownups only (21+)
Come listen as 5 Alameda Elementary parents tell humorous and heart-warming stories from their own childhoods. In between the stories, you'll learn about how advocacy for the big bucks works at the state level.
You probably know that a healthy relationship with even just one skilled, caring grownup at school can positively impact the entire trajectory of a kid’s life. So why has Oregon been cutting school district budgets for decades? That's left us with a lot fewer grownups in the buildings and a host of other issues.
We can't bakesale our way out of this problem, but we can learn just enough to be a little dangerous and raise some hell. You'll walk away knowing a) how much money we're talking about, b) who makes the decisions, c) why we are where we are, and d) what we can do about it.
Grab a beer, some food, and join us.
