Classroom Notes
In our Government workshop, two of our scholars wrote letters to their local representatives about issues that are important to them. Following their outreach, their representatives scheduled a meeting to discuss these topics with the scholars. It was an awesome experience for all and some important discussions were had related to public safety and homelessness in the city of Sun Prairie.
Book Study at PPA
In Cindy’s Book Study workshop, we are reading and discussing the autobiography Assata. The book highlights the trials and tribulations of Assata Shakur’s life in a personal and political manner. She talks about what in her life led up to her life of activism, and the strength and weaknesses of revolutionary groups. Our workshop has been learning about the culture and political climate of the 1960s to 1970s and how revolutionary groups began to rise up against the inequities, injustices, and “status quo” of the 1960s. Students in the workshop are engaged, outraged while also being inspired to use their voices for change.

Bus Information
Reminders For Morning Bus Riders
As cold and snowy weather is upon us, here are a few reminders for students riding the bus in the mornings:
Arrive at the bus stop at least 5 minutes before the scheduled pick up time.
Wait on the sidewalk or close to the curb if there aren’t sidewalks. Stay out of the road and others’ yards.
Don’t cross the road until the driver signals and the bus comes to a complete stop before attempting to board.
Students must have their bus tag with them when riding the bus. Replacement bus tags can be picked up at the school. A photo of the bus tag on their cell phone is acceptable. Students may be denied if they don’t have a bus tag and the driver doesn’t recognize them.

Los estudiantes deben tener su etiqueta de autobús con ellos cuando viajen en el autobús. Las etiquetas de autobús de reemplazo se pueden recoger en la escuela.
