Wow. That's the best way to describe the turnout for Earl Grey School's rally to Stop the Swap, held Saturday, March 14th. The turnout was just incredible, with at least 100 showing up to passionately voice their concerns about a swap with LaVeredrye that would end in the dismantling of Earl Grey School.
What the event showed is just how tight the Earl Grey community is, and how well we all get along and work together. Kids from all grade levels showed up with signs expressing their displeasure of the idea of a swap, and it was great to see so many civic minded youth standing up for their views. It's clear that Earl Grey has produced caring, intelligent and passionate kids who have a great understanding of the world around them and they did our community proud.
It was nice to see media show up and allow us to provide accurate information to the public about our concerns and the realities of a swap. It was greatly appreciated. And the many parents that were interviewed represented our school well.
All in all, it was a giant success that hopefully leads Earl Grey School one step closer to stopping the swap.
