Educational Forum reconvenes – Monday night
Monday, May 21, 7 pm, at the Robinson School will be the follow-up to the Mary Bacigalupo Educational Forum, hosted by the Citywide Parent Council. All are welcome!
I’m listening to UML Sunrise (91.5 FM) as Attorney Michael Gallagher and local Democratic activist Marie Sweeney explain the legacy of Mary Bacigalupo, who was a mentor, communicator, coalition-maker, advocate for children and all around great citizen of Lowell. The Mary Bacigalupo Educational Forum was created as a way to honor Mary and to keep alive the cause about which she was most passionate: the opportunity for a quality education for all children, regardless of race, background or income level. The first forum was held last October 14, with a great turnout and a great speaker, Dr. Jeff Howard of the Efficacy Institute. There was a lot of energy and momentum, and now, six months later, the forum will reconvene to discuss the progress that has been made toward an admittedly slippery goal – that the whole community should take responsibility for the success of its students and schools.
There will be reports of progress from each of five action teams and suggestions for those who want to get involved, plus planning for the future goals of the Forum. Please join us at this important event!
