Help Save our Crosswalks!

UPDATE (7/29/17)
Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert has decided to turn the crosswalks back on for the 2017/2018 school year and do additional study. This is thanks to the calls, emails, and community and school support we've received in this campaign. Thanks to all for your help. And remember to push the button every time you use that crosswalk this year. They're counting!
​
UPDATE: (7/28/17)

The City of Omaha says they want "Quantifiable Data" on the crosswalks. They're asking us to email Murthy.Koti@CityofOmaha.org and cc MayorStothert@CityofOmaha.org and tell them the following things:
  • your address
  • who  uses the crosswalk, when and why
  • how often do you use the crosswalk
  • any other "data" you think might be helpful.

If you've already called and emailed, do it again with this new "quantifiable data." We know they're listening!
​
Help!!!

The City of Omaha has decided to remove two crosswalks that are essential to Dundee Elementary students, families, and the community.

One is just a half a block from school, at 52nd and Chicago. The other is on the other side of the tunnel, the one used by all Dundee students who live south of Dodge. This is truly crazy!

We need your help to save them. Here's what you can do:

- Call Public Works at 402-444-5161 and tell them you want to save BOTH lights, one at 51st and Farnam and one at 52nd and Chicago. They're logging every call and this is crucial, especially to mention BOTH lights.

- Call Mayor Jean Stothert's hotline at 402-444-5555 and tell her the same thing. And encourage her to do it NOW.

- Attend a rally at Dundee Elementary this afternoon (Wednesday) at 1:30! We will make signs supporting our crosswalks and then walk to each of the crosswalks and rally to show our support.

Thanks in advance for your help. We love our walkable, friendly neighborhood!

A Party & A Plea from the Garden Committee:

7/7/2017

​Hello Fellow Garden Heroes of Dundee Elementary!


Our school grounds and garden beds need your help. Please take a look at the Doodle Poll linked here. We have plotted out several daytime or evening hours for everyone to get a lot or a little bit involved. We have a lot of work to do making our garden beds clean, colorful, and something to be proud of prior to school start time in August. 

Set up a play date for your kids to get together at the playground or bike around the blacktop. Come out and lend a helping hand!

Our first garden work night is this Sunday, July 9th from 6:30pm-8:30pm. There is a small patch of mint to remove and given some coolers, lemons, and limes, we'll have a refreshing time doing so! (Minty Mojitos, anyone?) 

We will focus on the lower southwest corner of the school on Sunday. Please make sure to click the Doodle Poll to sign up. We want to make sure we have enough refreshments for our hard working garden fellows! Work expected for Sunday will include removal of an arbor, weeding, demolition, and dirt hauling. It's a great way to burn some calories!

Thank you, kindly.

Tina and Meridith

Garden PTO Co-Chair
