MARCH 18 RALLY
























At 4:00 on Tuesday, March 18, there was a rally at Central Park to urge the Board of Education to save Emerson (and not consolidate into two junior highs). There was a great turnout, and the Davis Schools Foundation had a booth set up to accept donations for its "Dollar a Day" campaign. The group marched around the perimeter of Central Park a couple of times and then across 5th Street to the front entrance of the DJUSD headquarters. THANK YOU to everyone who turned out to show their support! There were students, parents, siblings, teachers and community members representing several schools (including Patwin, Chavez, Emerson, Harper and Da Vinci). It was a community-wide effort and we thank everyone who participated!
Thank you to Superintendent Hammond for appearing at the rally and speaking to the crowd.
