After the committees were decided in our last meeting, it’s important that we keep our long term and short term goals in mind. This blot was made the act as the hub for reformer discussion, so feel free to communicate your ideas in the comments section.

I’m writting to update everybody on the new meeting dates for the reformers club. Instead of the usual once a week meetings on Thursday, the meetings will be held twice a week on Monday and Wednesday in Fitz’s classroom.

See you there!

The walk-out at Morton East High School in near west suburban Cicero drew so many students out of the school buildings that Cicero police swarmed the area. At one point, officers threatened to arrest students.

“We want credits! We want credits!” students chanted.

“They want to cut down our budget, they want to cut down our sports. Where is all this money going to? It’s like they’re giving up on us, no!” said Iris Archilla, Morton East High School freshman.
