TAKE ACTION

Program Outline

• Sign up: to adopt your legislator!
• Look up: your state senator and representative at www.tinyurl.com/palegis by typing in your program’s address in the form.
• Hang up: your monthly theme/activity sheet and keep it in a visible location, like the teacher’s lounge, classroom wall, or cork board.
• Plan it: by committing to an activity for the classroom each month through June. Use our suggested calendar themes or craft your own!
• Document it: by taking photos or videos and share them with your Pre-K for PA field organizer and we’ll feature your updates on Pre-K for PA’s social media sites!
• Send it: along (or drop off) projects and activities to your adopted state legislators each month. Include your own note or use the sample notes we’ll provide to you.
• Invite: your legislators to read to your classroom during Week of the Young Child or anytime!
• Push it: Legislators have busy schedules. While meeting with constituents is important to them, sometimes you have to reach out more than once.
• Give thanks: Periodically recognize and thank your adopted legislator. Extend a personal letter, include an article in the family newsletter or host a small reception for the work he/she has done on behalf of early childhood education.
