Good morning students, As a reminder, the deadline for voting in the Participatory Budget process is tomorrow, Friday, 2/2. Be sure to cast your vote: Stuyvesant High School, along with other high schools in NYC, has been given the opportunity to decide democratically how we enhance our school through additional funds allocated to us by the DOE. This process is called “participatory budgeting,”** and, this year the process began with the Student Union researching viable options and ends with your voice. Please see the video [quicktime.png] Participatory Budget Video.mov<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ihQ7fjAzG1yGlk9wAuffrZr5R6hVCA7q/view?usp=drive_web> detailing the four funding options on your ballot. Then after you’ve given this some consideration and discussed it with your friends, cast your vote using the QR code at the end of the video or this form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfzMOMUzr-LtX5cDTeTE0yp3Y6kr7WSN7TxgrK_tVdSTo7SYQ/viewform?usp=sf_link>. Voting opens today after homeroom and ends Friday February 2nd at 3:35 pm. Thank you for your participation ~ Your vote matters! **Participatory budgeting—or “PB”—is a democratic process for sharing decision-making power within your community. Additionally, the School Counseling Department announces the return of both Cope with Crochet and Connect & Create for Spring 2024!
