We weren't on the agenda, but we made our plea for sex education to the Parma School Board and Administration Monday night! I could explain how it went, but take a look for yourself:
Danny (aka me)
and
Jelena Loncar, a fellow Parma Student.
This meeting was an amazing stepping stone for our future efforts in Parma. We got the meeting we asked for, and so much more:

After nineteen months, it is our turn to be heard! Look forward to updates!
Thank you for leading. And thank you for your untiring and important work.
Your work and how you've done it will also be an amazing tool for other activists trying to change school policies! Thank you for dedicating your time to this and keep up the fabulous work!!
And look at this! You are all over the place in the news! http://feministcampus.blogspot.com/2010/03/two-teenagers-after-my-own-heart.html
Go Danny and Jelena!!
Love,
Anna
