Montgomery County is cutting classes because of the budget problem and we as students, teachers, and parents want to make sure this excellent class is not part of the budget cut. Rocket Corp students have made a huge impact on the Richard Montgomery School, grades have gone up and if this program is cut our school will be in trouble. By signing this petition, you agree that you want to keep this class as an option for the 2009-2010 school year. Sign this and please write letters to MCPS. We cannot let this happen to our community. This class includes up to 90 students each semster, and each Rocket Corp makes a huge difference in each class they help with.

I have been hearing from so many of you about how much this program changed your experience at Richard Montgomery. We are currently gathering all your letters to present to the board because they need to see that losing Rocket Corp means losing a vital part of our school.

Seeing this momentum grow reminds me of how much my own time in Rocket Corp changed my path and gave me a real community. It means everything to see that so many of you understand why we must fight to protect this program for the students coming after us.

This program helped me so much when I was struggling in math last year. It would be a huge mistake to cut this for the upcoming year.
