A Moment of Silence
Dear Friends
I am writing this post asking for your support. I am a student-athlete from St.Ignatius High School and with the support of your school and others throughout Cuyahoga County we are starting a movement against youth on youth violence. On this site you will find a copy of the Plain Dealer Article where the issue of youth violence and its how it hits home locally. Today what I am asking you, is for your support in this movement,
what that entails would be as follows:
1.) Urge students to sign our online petition – or download a copy here to circulate around your school. Begin making students aware of the issue of youth-on-youth violence. The Center for Disease Control, through its research has discovered, that youth on youth violence is the Second leading cause of death amongst young people. We politely ask that you circulate this petition amongst your student community to say that we will take a stand against violence in their peer group.
2) Also we are requesting that you have a Moment of Silence at your last Football game of the season the weekend of October 30-31st. To raise awareness about this issue. If you would like view the announcement made at our football game October 17th please feel free to E~Mail me using the info on the contact page.
3) Once the petitions are filled out mail them or drop them off to:
St.Ignatius High School C/O Kevin Smith 4X
1911 West 30th
Cleveland, Ohio 44113.
Thank You,
Your Friend in a Worth While Cause,
Kevin Francis Smith
