PTSA Announcement
Parents—you may be aware of a growing movement of parents, students, teachers and staff in our area who are committed to advocating for Education in North Carolina. Many schools held events last week to show educators support-- from lining the streets with parents and kids in red, to legislative letter writing campaigns to literally rolling out a red carpet for teachers. At Carrboro High we are no less dedicated to supporting education.
- Last week students signed red banners expressing support for fair teacher pay and strong education to be sent to the NC General Assembly.
- This week PTSA Advocacy Committee members will distribute information packets in the carpool line. Included is specific information on how YOU can get involved—from attending meetings or rallies to writing to your elected officials.
For more information - click HERE!
Make note of upcoming events that will affect our schools, their budgets and all our students:
- Locally—Orange County Board of Commissioners will meet on May 22nd in Hillsborough and May 29th in Chapel Hill. We hope to have a large group attend the Chapel Hill meeting and will focus our collective organizing efforts on that meeting on the 29th.
- State-wide---The NC General Assembly will open their short session this week on Wednesday, Math 14th. Groups of interested parents are going to head to Raleigh to show their support for education.
Our friends at Pay Our Teachers First are making specific plans for car pools and meetings. You can check out their webpage (and sign up for the listserve) and like them on Facebook for more information. Pay Our Teachers First has also opened up the red t-shirt campaign district wide. If you need a red t-shirt to wear on Wednesdays then visit the site and put one on order.

Summer Mock Trial Camps
The Program Coordinator for the Carolina Center for Civic Education recently contacted Ms. Mattocks with the following message.
I am pleased to invite your students and teachers to take part in an exciting and fun opportunity this summer. The CCCE will be hosting our second annual Summer Mock Trial Camps for students in grades 9 - 12 (fall 2014). Mock trial is an engaging, hands-on way to learn about our justice system and trial-by-jury while developing crucial academic skills such as analytical reasoning, oral and written communication, and collaborative leadership skills.
Our camps will be held in 3 locations: Chapel Hill (June 25 - 28); Asheville (July 9 - 12); and Fayetteville (July 30 - Aug 2). Each camp will provide Basic and Advanced tracks, and students and teachers will have the chance to put their knowledge into practice by taking part in a trial scrimmage on the final day of camp. The Chapel Hill and Asheville sites include day and overnight options; the Fayetteville site is for day campers only.
We are proud to announce that our teaching sessions will be led by esteemed legal professionals, including judges, adjunct professors at colleges and law schools, and attorneys who have published and led seminars nationwide. Please see the attached for more information on our stellar line up of instructors at each location! In addition, experienced college students will mentor each team as they develop their case presentations.
I have also attached a camp flyer with information, as well as a registration form. More information is available on our website at http://ncmocktrial.org/camps/
I appreciate your assistance letting your students and teachers know about this outstanding opportunity.
We would love for your faculty and students to join us this summer! I am sure that those who attend will find the experience to be academically enriching, rewarding and fun.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or need further information. Thank you.
