Town Hall on needs of immigrant students

Posted by Office of Councilwoman Helen Gym on January 9, 2017

Last year, our town halls established a community agenda that put a full-time nurse and counselor in every public school, restored water access in our school buildings, and worked to end split grades and massive overcrowding.

On January 24th, Council members Helen Gym, Maria Quiñones-Sánchez, Jannie Blackwell, the Philadelphia School District, the Faculty and Staff Federation of Community College of Philadelphia, The Pennsylvania Immigration and Citizenship Coalition (PICC), United Voices for Philadelphia, and Juntos will host a Town Hall to discuss the needs of immigrant students.

Parents, students, and community members are encouraged to come to the Community College of Philadelphia (1700 Spring Garden Street, Phila., 19130) on January 24th at 6:00pm to share their stories and to weigh in on the needs of immigrant students. To RSVP, request fliers, or for more details, please contact Steve Paul at 215-686-8350.
