Thank you to all of the students, parents, taxpayers, teachers, administrators and supporters who gathered around the M-E Middle School this evening to show support for public education funding. With hands helds, we had enough support to circle the Middle School building! Thank you to members of the Vestal Teachers' Association, Binghamton Teachers' Association, and Chenango Valley Teachers' Association.
