Taste of Morgan Hill Thank You!

Huge thanks again to the 24 teachers who came out! It was wonderful to have teachers pass out mascot coloring sheets, crayons, and candy. While simple, this work is extremely important.

Tickets to the San Jose Barracudas Union Night on October 9th were given as a thank you to those who worked in our booth. While the Barracudas did not prevail, it was a fun first game for MHFT and the Barracudas (who just moved to the West Coast).

Educators:

Please take a moment to read the following linked article about NPS’s mistreatment of our district's most vulnerable population, Students with Disabilities (SWD’s).

Madison, WI: Delegates to AFT-Wisconsin’s recent state convention voted to demand UW System President Ray Cross resign, AFT-Wisconsin President Kim Kohlhaas announced today. “Faculty, staff, and graduate employee members of AFT-Wisconsin have been fighting tirelessly to protect the quality of education and research in the UW System in the face of the Republican assault on higher education,” said Kohlhaas, a teacher in the Superior School District. “But when it comes to crucial issues like academic freedom, due process, shared governance, and state funding, President Cross hasn’t been the advocate that the UW System’s students need. The Wisconsin Idea is under attack, and the head of the UW System is standing by and letting it happen. That’s why our members are calling on President Cross to step down.”
