TOWN HALL Meeting
The Legislative Committee invites you to a Town Hall meeting on Wednesday, 
March 7 at 7 p.m. in the Little Auditorium of the EGR High School.  This is an 
excellent opportunity to ask questions of our administrators and legislators.  Now 
more than ever, our children need us to be informed.  Please make time to attend 
this very important meeting. 


EGR NOW!
There is an urgent and dire financial shortfall for EGR Schools due to lack of 
State funding.  There is a projected budget deficit of $3.3 million dollars for the 
2012-2013 school year alone. To help the East Grand Rapids school district avoid cutting critical education programs, the EGR Schools Foundation is 
sponsoring EGR NOW! – a campaign to help fund the immediate needs of our 
public schools. 

The PTA is helping to spread the word about this campaign.  A lengthy 
discussion at the last PTA meeting explained the details of EGR NOW! and how 
we can support this effort. (Please see the meeting minutes on the PTA website.)  

Look for EGR NOW! information when you are at Lakeside for our school play 
events, parent-teacher conferences, future PTA meetings, future PTA Blasts, etc. 

Please contact Tamara Christians, tamara.christians@comcast.net  or any PTA 
Board member for more information!
