Rebels for Peace at Travis HS

We had an excellent visit today to Travis HS. Thanks to all the Rebels for making us welcome! We Rebels for Peace fit right in. We were asked to set up in the cafeteria today because there was testing being done in other parts of the school. That was a good place to be, and we appreciated all the students who came by to do the t-shirt challenge and see what the table was about.

It was good to meet several students from other parts of the world, including Tanzania and Puerto Rico.

The Penny Poll results showed the greatest priority for the Environment (25.61% of the vote), 22.8% for Health Care, 21.1% for Education, 17% for the Military and 13.49% for Humanitarian Aid. As one student said, as she put all her pennies into the Environment jar, "If we don't have a planet, we're all dead." I wish that our legislators would say it so clearly.
