Hello everyone,
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that sent the letters to the principal, board and superintendent. Also thanks to all those who also called the principal and left messages. Although David was still not allowed to walk, there was a lot of people who showed up to support and pass out flyers outside the graduation. Thanks to everyone who came out!!!
There was several students and other supporters who went into the graduation and chanted out David's name. There was a good response from people!!!
And David...CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Con Respeto,
***Fernanda, Enrique, & Octavio
***********************************************************
Ditto to everything that Fernando, Enrique and Octavio just reported, and a huge thanks to THEM for getting this action going.
A few more things...
I just saw the report by channel 17. It was good, pointing out what we know to be the true reason that David didn't walk...his activism. They showed footage from our previous struggles...the shooting ranges and A-G. Wow...they found David in A LOT of old footage. Many thanks to Marco and Univision
Inside the graduation ceremony...we boo-ed Seelos when she stood up to speak and when she finished her typically boring "words of wisdom." She definitely heard us and I'm sorry I didn't get a picture of the look on her face.
When the ceremony ended, we were still standing on the sidewalk with signs and flyers. Many people honked, shouted and waved in support of David. I would say that his graduation ceremony was more exciting than that of his classmates inside the stadium.
Please pass these emails on to all the organizations that helped us. THANK YOU!!
Paula H.V.
