Led by Gary Griffith, Valley of the Moon Teachers Association president, with megaphone, more than 200 educators, students and parents demonstrated on the Plaza Friday afternoon protesting the lack of a state budget and the prospect of more budget cuts. The demonstration was one of a number of such events around the state organized by the California Teachers Association.

We are very proud of our VMTA president's Gary Griffith"s leadership, but I would also like the public to know that site reps took on specific days, and our site reps from Dunbar and Flowery, Brandy Melendy and Diane Lopez and their staffs, did much of the coordination to pull of this rally. Whether it was political action of emailing legislature, getting the word out to parents, notifying businesses, or taking some form of fiscal action, all sites worked together to create our week of action in Sonoma Valley, while also setting up our rooms for open houses across the district. You should all be very pleased with a job well done. Sivani Lloyd
