Your help needed. Your presence wanted.

Mr. Fritch put out an e-mail this week detailing several items of interest with respect to our work completing the Garfield Plan and submitting it in January, including a six-point outline of areas in the plan needing immediate faculty input, and contact information for the UTLA point person for preparing the final draft. Here are links to the pertinent elements.

• Fritch e-mail of 12/16/09
• GHS Plan area solicitation outlines
• Contact: Will Adams, UTLA
• Contact: Roberta Ikemi, Design Team writer
  

We will hope to see as many of you as can possibly be there, wearing your red, in front of the school on Monday, December 21, at 12:15 p.m. for the Garfield UTLA rally and demonstration. (Be sure to confirm with Clare Martinet in advance if you want lunch!) As this morning's LA Times story demonstrates to this writer, the district continues its attacks and scapegoating of teachers. Our unity is our defense.
