PAINT YOUR PRIDE!!

We will be painting car windows (with washable window paint) Sunday May 3rd from 3pm to 5pm in the front parking lot of St. Paul on Charlton Rd. Tell everyone you know to show up and paint their pride on their vehicle for everyone to see! We welcome volunteers to help with the painting. You can either paint your own windows or we will do it for you. Drive through painting is available!!
Hope to see you there.

4/26/08 Website Update

I was able to get the video up and running on the main page here, obviously :) Please take 12 min to watch it if you haven't already. The high school students did an amazing job on this informational video for the district, we thank all the students and Mr. Hamilton for their hard work and for allowing us to post it on the CCQE website. If you are planning to support the bond, please stop at the support/endorse page on this website and sign the endorsement petition.

4/25/08 Website Update

I am working on getting a larger and easier to watch version of the school bond informational video up here on the main page of this website. I should have it up and running by Friday evening (4-25). In the meantime, you can view the video on your local city and school run cable stations or you can click on this link.

4/12/08 Website Update

The News Herald posted a very well written article, endorsing the school bond, on Wednesday April 16th, 2008. I have posted the link above for anyone who did not get to see it in the paper.

4/12/08 Website Update

I have posted the power point presentation on the 2008 school bond proposal on the main page of this website (above) and on the photos page of this website. This is the presentation that is given at the community forums. Please try to make it to one of the community forums (dates and times posted in the calendar on the volunteer page of this website). While the presentation you can view here is the same, attending one of these forums will offer a lot more detail and explanation as to what your seeing in the photographs during the presentation and will also allow you the ability to ask questions and get immediate answers.

 

4/12/08 Wrong TaxCalc Link!

If you have used the tax calculator on this website in the last week or two, please go put your information again, to double check the answer you get. At some point when I updated the website... the link for the new 2008 tax calculator was replaced with the link for the old tax calculator. The millage rate in 2006 was higher, so if you used it from this website recently your tax increase would have come back higher than it should be. I have corrected the link in the main file to ensure this does not happen again. I also want to say that only the link on this website was wrong. The taxcalc link on the district website has always been the right one.

4/2/08 CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS

We can ALWAYS use more volunteers to help with anything we're doing over the next 5 weeks. We have a few events coming up in the next two/three weeks that we could use a lot of hands to help with. We had a TON of help and support with the 2006 school bond and I am hoping most of you will find a way you would like to help this time around. If you would like to find out what is available just email or call any of the contact information, anywhere on this website. You can also post in the forum.

4/2/08 Website Updates

I have updated the volunteer page but there is still more to add. Keep checking back as I will be adding updates throughout the site regularly.

3/30/08 Website Updates

I restarted the endorsement form on the "support/endorse" page of the website. If you would like to endorse the bond you can use this form to add your name to a list and then verify the signature by email.

 

3/22/08 Grand "Re"opening

We're back!

Hello everyone and welcome! We are proud to present to you one of your most informative sources for the 2008 Trenton school bond.
We are working hard to bring you the most updated and accurate information to assist you in voting this May.

"We" are the Citizens Committee for Quality Education or the CCQE and we are made up of your fellow community members. We are parents, business owners, senior citizens, high school students, teachers, principals, city council members, and proud residents of this wonderful city.

The site is still being updated so we will have more to come, but what you see here today is a great start. We have also set up a community forum where you can chat back and forth in real time with your friends and neighbors and discuss any concerns you might have about the school bond. You can ask those important questions and get quick, reliable answers. We hope you find everything you need to know on this website, our goal is to have NO questions left unanswered by the time the election rolls around. You can contact any one of us at any of the email addresses or phone numbers you find throughout the site if you would like to help out. We are a dedicated group of people but we could ALWAYS use more heads and hands so we hope you decide to join us in our effort to rebuild part of Trenton's pride.

Vote YES May 6th for our kids, our community, our future!
