It is a challenging test to face the realities and circumstances of daily family life. But it\u2019s certainly far more difficult to stand before our children and face them saying, \u201cCome on, you can do it!\u201d when we ourselves have failed; to tell them \u201cWork hard in school \u00ad\u2013 graduate!\u201d when some of us have never finished the elementary grades. We tell them, \u201cYou can be successful in your future endeavors and profession,\u201d when in plain sight of our children we are humiliated and remain silent in order to put food on the table.<\/p>\n

\"heroes\"<\/a>Many times, the heroes in our homes are not around the dinner table. They exist in the world of entertainment and popular culture. But here in Redwood City, there exists a group of parents who seek to change this and to change local history. They are heroes.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t possess academic titles or bring in six-figure salaries, but we have come together and overcome our personal fears and insecurities to speak directly to our elected officials about our experiences so that we can be heard. One thing is for sure: we won\u2019t return to the status quo. We will reach our goal: a fair education for all of our children and for all the children that have been forgotten and left behind.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s for that reason that Rocketship is so important for us. We believe in your commitment to public school, and we know that you have been successful in working with children in communities similar to Redwood City.<\/p>\n

We continue knocking on doors to spread the word in our community that a better future is possible so we can leave a legacy for our children, but we have to fight for it. We won\u2019t fall back. We will rise with our heads held high as we speak up for and with our little ones \u2013 teaching them and demonstrating to them through example that we do indeed possess dignity and values.<\/p>\n

\"littleones\"<\/a>We believe that a parent leader is not measured by the possessions they have but by what they work to achieve. It has not been easy, but everything we do we do for our kids. We are grounded in the basic principles of justice.<\/p>\n

We aren\u2019t asking for anything special \u2013 just equity for our children so that they feel confident that they are on the right path and that their school will support and guide them to cross the gaps that exist in our education system.<\/p>\n

We know that if you don\u2019t have a good foundation in the early years, you will falter later on. That\u2019s why we\u2019re doing this work in Redwood City \u2013 because we believe our kids don\u2019t have an option that is preparing them and pushing them to go into business and technology. All we want more than anything is for them to succeed in Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n

We are standing up and saying \u201cHere we are. We too are humans and deserve a good education.\u201d Rocketship \u00ad\u2013 we ask you to stand with us.<\/p>\n

We believe that soon we will see the day that hundreds of children and their parents here in Redwood City will be cheering \u201cWe are Rocketeers \u2013 at home, at school and in our community!\u201d<\/p>\n

In March 2014, the parents hosted an Action Meeting concerning bringing new school options with local elected officials that more than 300 parents attended. On June 25, the Redwood City School District board of trustees will vote whether to approve a new Rocketship school.\u00a0<\/i><\/em><\/p>\n

Maritza<\/em> is a parent leader in Redwood City where parents have been working together for more than a year to bring new high-quality school options to the community, including a Rocketship school. They have been holding house meetings, doing outreach at community events, and going door-to-door to talk with parents in the community about education.
