TAKE
"THE PLEDGE"
PLEASE HELP OUR CHILDREN
 


I am going to save a child. I am going to help a generation.
It may be my child. It may be the child down the street.
It may be a child I do not know. But, I am going to save a child.

I might be a mentor. I might be a role model.
I might ask to see a report card. I might ask, "Why aren't you in school?" 
I might ask, "Why are you out so late?" I might say, "You can do better."

I might say, "It's wrong for you to do that." I might say, "Good job.
I'm proud of you. Keep up the good work." I might say, "I love you.
I'm here if you need me." I am going to save a child.


THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE PLEDGE
