Rally at Roberts Elementary for Mindy Herrick

By now, if you've read Lisa Gray's column in the Chronicle or Ericka Mellon's article, you've heard of Mindy Herrick, the Roberts art teacher who was put on administrative leave and is currently facing charges for "having possession" of two Xanax pills in a baggie in her car. There will be a rally in support of her as detailed below.

We hope to have radio, TV, and print media out in force. I'd like you to consider coming, if not for our particular teacher, to express disappointment and displeasure with HISD's "Zero Tolerance" drug policy.

Join us FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20TH AT 5:00 at the Greenbriar entrance to Roberts Elementary as we RALLY IN SUPPORT OF MINDY HERRICK.   Bring your family, your friends and your neighbors to provide the biggest show of support we can for our beloved teacher and friend. Let's show everyone we want Ms Herrick back at Roberts, now!   We'll hear from Ms Herrick's attorney, Kent Schaffer as well as Roberts students who love Ms Herrick and miss her very much.   Posters and signs are welcomed.
