Chances are pretty good that you've never heard of a guy named Lindy Sikes, but he's a very seriously dedicated educator, and a really good guy. I got this email from him this weekend. About a year or so ago, I spent a few days down in his district and witnessed numerous instances of the postive work he's doing for the music program, as well as the positivity he's bringing to his student's lives. If you were going to try to make a difference for a teacher, this would be the guy to do it for. Think about signing this petition -- you can still sign it, even if you don't live in Fulton County, Georgia.


Hey all,

I sent an email out to some of you earlier about my job situation here in Fulton County. To make a long story short, Fulton County has decided to eliminate instrumental music in the elementary schools. That is where 100% of my salary comes from. There is a very good chance they will put it back in but we need at least 10,000 signatures to help this along. If you are a music educator, remember, this could be you!!! I am asking everyone to sign this petition. We have about 7600 names right now but if you know of someone that would like to help the cause, pass it on!! Go to the website below and follow the instructions. Thank you in advance.
