Monday Action #6
“Our Children Are a Gift — And Their School Has Been One Too.”
This week is full of family, quiet moments, and reflection.
We’re not pushing politics.
We’re not debating funding formulas.
We’re not arguing red vs. blue.
We’re doing something simpler — and more powerful:
👉 We’re reminding our Representative and Senator what a gift our children are, and what a gift their school has been.
Because behind every budget line is a child.
Behind every vote is a future.
Behind every school is a story.
And lawmakers need to hear those stories now — while families across Pennsylvania are thinking about what really matters.

2️⃣ Your Message (copy/paste)
Subject: A simple reminder about the gift you help protect
Dear [Name],
As we close out the year, I wanted to take a moment to share something simple but important.
My child is a gift — truly. And the school they attend has been a gift to our family as well. It has given them safety, confidence, stability, and opportunities that have changed their life for the better.
With all the budget discussions happening, I want you to remember that these schools are not abstract institutions. They are lifelines for real children who learn differently, grow differently, and thrive in different environments.
The recent 25% cut to cyber charter funding hit families hard, including ours. But I hope as the new budget cycle begins, you’ll keep kids like mine at the center of your decisions.
Please protect the public school options that give our children what they need to succeed.
Thank you for your time, and for the work you do on behalf of Pennsylvania families.

Warm. Human. Impossible to ignore.
3️⃣ Public Post for Parents (simple + shareable)
“This Monday, I emailed my lawmakers to remind them: our kids are a gift, and their school has been one too. Your turn.”
4️⃣ Why Week 6 Matters
When lawmakers return to Harrisburg in January, budget discussions will move quickly.
This message:
softens the ground
resets the tone
puts kids — not politics — at the center
makes you impossible to ignore later
You are establishing relationship, not confrontation.
