You are invited to join us in a day of celebration and motivation for our young students of Connecticut. On this day we will hold hands with our youth in comradery and unity to show solidarity and concern for their futures.

Registration is important in organizing such an event of this caliber. We need all that are interested in marching to fill out the forms and submit them in a timely fashion so everyone can be counted and recognized

If you would like to march with a banner, float, car, or just join in, we are excited to involve all who are interested in supporting. All fees are used to offset any monetary costs that are acquired to host this type of function. Register here

We will also attempt to have games for the family to participate in creating a unifying fun time of competition and just plain fun with each student returning to school.

All Cheerleaders, bands and musicians are encouraged to sign up

Our essay contest is designed to open a students mind on the purpose of higher learning and the ability to overcome all obstacles that will stand in the way of any achievements that are hindered through negative opinions and circumstances.

Marchers encourage education in Bridgeport

(07/26/08) BRIDGEPORT - Residents of Bridgeport turned out Saturday in the summer heat to promote a fall tradition: School.
Walking through Beardsley Park, parents and teens took part in the first annual March for Education Parade. Promoting education, the marchers say parents and teachers must work together to raise children in the community.
"Stop the labeling of our youth," says Connie Johnson, of Stratford. "If we could only just believe in our youth, that would make a world of difference."
Koneisha Johnson says she was negatively labeled by some, but was able to graduate with honors because someone believed in her abilities.
"Encourage the kids," she says. "Just whisper in their ear because trust me, it'll replay in their head."
The fun-filled day included dancers who entertained the crowd, games, music and refreshments. Participants say education comes in many forms.
"If we instill those values during the younger years, it will go with that child through elementary and even college," says Grace Clark, of Stratford.
