At our last General Meeting we passed a motion that the SECPTA support the passage of the Strongsville School Renewal Levy (Issue No. 15) on the November 8, 2011 ballot.  The Strongsville Council PTA (made up of all Strongsville School PTA Units, including ours) discussed the levy at this week’s meeting and also passed a resolution in support of the levy.  It is important for us to be informed voters and help our friends and neighbors be informed on this issue as well, so I am passing on some information obtained at the meeting.

1.      There are important LEVY RENEWAL BULLET POINTS attached below.  Please open and read this to learn more about the levy, share it with your friends and neighbors. This document is from Jeff Lampert, Superintendent of Strongsville City Schools.  It is a fact sheet that he uses when presenting to groups within the City of Strongsville to ask for support for the levy renewal. 

 

2.      There is a COMMUNITY RALLY to support Issue No. 15 this Tuesday, October 11 from 5:00 PM to 6:30PM at the Gazebo on The Commons at the corner of Pearl Road and Royalton Road. A flyer is attached below.  All Strongsville residents are welcomed and encouraged to come out and support our "Excellent" Strongsville City Schools!  Mayor Perciak, Superintendent Jeff Lampert and several others will be giving short speeches to the group and there will be entertainment provided by the Strongsville Marching Bands and the High School Choral Groups.  Council PTA is asking all those who attend to please wear your favorite Strongsville Spirit wear and proudly come out to support our schools!  It would be appropriate to bring your kids and all dress in your SECPTA shirts if you have one.  Signs showing support of the levy are welcome too.
