In growing commitment to the <br />importance of public school improvement, six cities have passed <br />resolutions in support of RYHT. <br /> <br />RYHT would like your support, not financial, but in commitment to <br />the important task of public school improvement. Our website, <br />www.raiseyourhandtexas.org, contains information on our beliefs as <br />well as a recent newsletter where you can read about current <br />activities and the monthly highlight of a mayor who has joined the <br />cause. <br /> <br />We know this is a busy time of year, and what better way to start <br />the school year in your city than to commit to children and their <br />education? <br /> <br />Enclosed with this letter is a sample resolution and a sign up sheet. <br />Our office would be happy to send you an electronic version of the <br />resolution if you would prefer. We look forward to hearing from <br />you and adding your city to the growing support. <br /> <br />Most sincerely, <br /> <br />Qecv}-e, ~ < ~ <br /> <br />~~~~~ <br />~C~I <br />~r~t~~' <br /> <br /> <br />--rJ!~ r.isevourh.ndtex.s,or~ <br /> <br />~~ <br /> <br />Anne Foster <br />Executive Director/Programs <br />Raise Your Hand Texas <br />512.476.4178 <br />afoster@ryht.org <br /> <br />lJ.,/Idt- ha1~{'f <br />5Jtool . 6'1ffifJ <br /> <br />
