Online Petition in Support of Education

An online petition in support of education funding via the Internet  
is available, thanks to Sally Cushing's (Brownsville) efforts.

Residents of Albemarle County, show your support for the School  
Board’s proposed funding request, as outlined on the Albemarle County  
Public School website, by signing a petition to be presented to the  
Board of Supervisors’ public hearing on Wednesday, April 2.

finance this request in full.

Family in Need

It has come to our attention that a WAHS/Henley/Brownsville family is  
in the midst of a health crisis.  The mother is in hospice with her  
days numbered, and her daughter was just diagnosed with a brain  
tumor.  They are struggling financially and need help.  The WAHS PTO  
is collecting funds for the family so that they can afford a funeral  
and burial for the mother.  A check in any amount will help ease  
their financial burden.  In order for the contributions to be tax- 
deductible, checks should be made out to WAHS.  In the memo line,  
please write “funeral expense” and send the check to:

WAHS
5941 Rockfish Gap Turnpike
Crozet, VA  22932
Attn: Tami Hamilton
