About Paula Cullison
Keynote Speaker

Paula (Giangreco) Cullison is a long time women’s rights, peace and social justice advocate.

As President of Women in Management (for then Mountain Bell / US West), she created a major project titled – The Year for All Arizona Women which featured over 100 events throughout the state and gained the support of Governor Bruce Babbitt, over 60 Mayors, Tribal Leaders, County and other officials.

Appointed by then Mayor Terry Goddard, she served on the Phoenix Women’s Commission for three years.

Paula presented at the United Nations Conference on Women in Kenya – How to Create A Year for ALL Women in your country or City. Prior to attending the UN Environmental Conference in Brazil, she created an event in Phoenix on Eco-Feminism: Polotics of the Environment which featured Bella Abzug, the late US Congresswoman from NY.

In the 1990s concerned about the lack of recognition of Women’s Rights Day (Aug 26th), she petitioned American Greetings to issue a free e-card which continues to be available. Gloria Feldt notes Paula’s tenacity in her book, No Excuses: 9 Ways Women Can Change How We Think About Power.

In 2002 she created The Arizona Women’s Partnership, an all volunteer philanthropic non-profit, to award grants to grass roots charities that assist under-served women and children at risk here in AZ. Over $380,000 has been awarded to date.

Three years ago, Paula created the 95th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment event which featured Mary Schroeder, Justice of the Ninth Appellate Court.

Paula, a long time ERA advocate, spoke at the recent rally at the Senate Capitol.
She has been at both Women’s Marches and a huge number of demonstrations.

She has traveled extensively and has been exhibiting her international photography, primarily at local college and university campus libraries. Paula hopes that these exhibits will encourage students and faculty to think globally.

Daughter of Italian immigrants and native New Yorker, Paula has lived in Phoenix since 1974. She is a graduate of City University of NY – Baruch College. Her AIESEC traineeship to Switzerland was sponsored by Columbia University.

Paula is the recipient of the Children and Family Resources Lifetime Achievement Award, Susan B Anthony Award, Macy*s Heart and Soul Award, National Bank of Arizona Amazing Woman Award.

Anticipated School Walkout in AZ – letter to Parents @ Schools in AZ
Apr 26 all-day

Parents,

You may want to clear your schedules on Thursday, April 26th, just in case. Here is a note from Jennifer Chilton, of the SOCUSD.

Big Park PTSA
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
As you’ve likely seen in the news today, Arizona teachers are uniting with others around the country to demand better education funding by the state legislature. Truly, it is not acceptable that Arizona’s education funding per student is the lowest in the nation. It was not always this way. Twenty years ago, Arizona provided median support for its children.

Teachers in Sedona and all of Arizona have been heroic, for decades now, in their everyday battle to maintain excellent instruction and high achievement despite the extreme, long-term collapse of financial support.

No teacher, no school or district, wants to disrupt a child’s day of learning or inconvenience parents. However, in efforts to make legislators listen and act, there is the potential for visible teacher “walk-ins” next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and a “walk-out” on Thursday, April 26th.

Walk-ins are not intended to have any negative impact on instruction. In the event of a work stoppage, student safety will be the priority in District decision-making. Should it become necessary to close school next Thursday, parents and guardians will be notified as early as possible.

Thank you,
Jennifer Chilton

We Are Republican Teachers Striking in Arizona. It’s Time to Raise Taxes.
By Leah Varjacques, Taige Jensen and Japhet Weeks

We’re angry: Our classrooms are falling apart. We work multiple jobs. Our party must stop its war on public education.Published OnApril 26, 2018CreditImage by Ross D. Franklin/Associated Press
Tens of thousands of teachers are walking out of their schools in Arizona on Thursday. Arizona is the latest conservative state with protesters demanding an increase in teacher salaries and more resources for students. In this video op-ed, four conservative teachers lament the conditions in their classrooms and, in turn, wrestle with their political beliefs.

“I’m a die-hard Republican, and I’m dying inside,” says Allison Ryal-Bagley, an elementary school substitute teacher. “Republicans aren’t taking care of our kids.”

Over the last decade, Arizona has had the greatest decrease in per-student spending in the country — a 36.6 percent drop since 2008 — making it 48th in the nation. Arizona also ranks 43rd in teacher pay, at nearly $11,000 less than the national average, according to the National Education Association.

William Kimsey, who teaches English, is fed up and is moving for a teaching job in Indonesia. Laura Fox, a music teacher, works the late shift at McDonald’s to make ends meet. Jenny Bentley Ryan used to work as a Lyft driver to supplement her income teaching science. They are challenging Arizona’s Republican governor, Doug Ducey, to increase taxes and give public education the funding it deserves. — The Editors

Big Park Fun Run @ Big Park Community School PTSA
May 9 @ 4:00 am – 4:15 am

Dear Big Park Community School Supporter,

The Big Park Fun Run returns to Big Park on Wednesday, May 9th. Students, staff, families and general community members will walk or run for 30 minutes on our school course. Students will seek donations for their efforts during the three weeks prior to the Fun Run; Big Park Community School Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) is currently seeking event sponsorships. Your sponsorship dollars will help cover the cost of the Fun Run and increase our earning potential for this event. Together, we are raising funds for Big Park classrooms. We support Big Park Community School in its mission to provide students with a world-class education, right here in the Village of Oak Creek.

We anticipate more than 200 students taking part in this year’s Fun Run. In addition to seeking donations and running/walking on May 9th, students will explore the IB Learner Profile Traits, a cornerstone of Big Park’s emerging International Baccalaureate program. Each classroom forms a “team.” Each team has it’s own identity and will create a cheer to represent the IB Learner Profile Trait assigned to their class: Inquirers, Knowledgeable, Thinkers, Communicators, Principled, Open-minded, Caring, Courageous, Balanced and Reflective.

We are proud to raise funds in a way that engages our students, while supporting their health, vitality and emotional intelligence. We hope you’ll support our efforts through event sponsorship. Sponsorships range from $50 to $750, so there is something for everyone.

Big Park Community School PTSA is a local unit of Arizona PTA, a 501(c)(3) non-profit association. Big Park Community School PTSA is tax exempt under federal and state law; we will provide you with Tax ID information upon receipt of your contribution.

Thank you for supporting our students, our neighborhood school and the broader community!

Sincerely,

Big Park Community School Fun Run Committee
