On Monday, September 25th the NYC Student Union will kick off its first big event. We are going to be holding a student forum to identify problems in our public high schools and find ways that we can solve them as students. If we can gather a large enough group this can be really big-time.

It is about time for students to have a say in their education and in their schools. To accomplish we are trying to form a New York City Student Union with representatives from as many schools as possible. Being that we are a young organization there is no election or application process to become a representative, nor should there necessarily be one (but that’s for you all to decide). To become a representative all you need is the desire to improve your school, your community, and and the City and its Department of Education. Just imagine how we, the students who this education system is designed for, could improve our schools if we had a say in our education. That is the goal of the NYC Student Union and we hope that you will join us. Please send this to your friends and spread the message. The more student we have with us, the more we can do.

The meeting will be held on Monday 9/25, at UFT (United Federation of Teachers) offices at 50 Broadway a little bit south of Exchange place (Email nycstudentunion@yahoo.com if you need more info on directions.) The meeting will be held from 5:30-8:00PM in Room C on the 2nd Floor with free pizza. If you want to help set up please come a little bit early.

The NYC Student Union is completely run by high school students and is open to all NYC high school students interested in working to make a change in our schools.

Hope to see you all there.
