If I were in your situation, I would begin by getting my parents and community members, along with any corporate sponsors, to go to a school board meeting and present why THEY think this is worth saving. The corporate people, especially, would be beneficial! School people tend to listen to these people (sometimes) and I think it would say a lot about your program/team and what you are trying to accomplish! I would also have students put in writing a compilation of what FIRST means to them. What they learn from it, how it applies to the classroom, why they are involved, how it will help them in the future. I would also talk to FIRST and see if they can help you at all. The more "outside" help you can get, the better!

I hate it that you are going through this! Hang in there and fight hard for this!! If there is anything that I or my team can do to help, let me know! Even if it's writing something up for you as to what it does for our kids. We have a lot of neat stories from graduates that have gone on. My school is 271 kids, 9-12 and we have 30 kids each year on our team. We have no school funding at all and are still able to keep it going. I think I can help if you need me!

I wish you the very best!!
