Family Fun Day Fundraiser – Coming Together in Support for Unpaid Teachers
Sat., June 16th from 12-4pm at Carnegie School in Riverside
The event is to help raise awareness & money for the teachers who haven’t been paid in almost 2 months. For undisclosed reasons, the school ran into financial issues, which led to this unfortunate circumstance. This has led to many financial burdens for the teachers with some experiencing eviction notices, some being forced to live off credit debt and a postponed wedding. Through it all, these teachers have stayed loyal to their students & have faithfully finished off the school year knowing they wouldn’t be paid. Join this day of games, food, and raffles to raise money for these loyal teachers.
