INVITATION LETTER TO THE FIRST NATIONAL MEETING
Because of your commitment to our nation's children, schools and families, we are pleased to invite you to a special breakfast meeting on May 3,1989 at 8:00 a.m. at the historic Charles Sumner School Museum and Archives, Washington, D.C.
The meeting, sponsored by the American Federation of Teachers, the National Education Association, The Learning Channel, the National Association of Elementary School Principals, the National Association of Secondary School Principals, and the Coordinating Committee for Ellis Island, is to brief representatives in the field of education, funding and public policy and the media about an exciting national education project--Americans All.
This project is a comprehensive public-private partnership/educational support program which addresses critical issues of our time. It provides a vehicle for enhancing skills among students, teachers and parents as well as a tool for delivering resources and needed curriculum materials into our nation's 70,000 public schools. Components of the Americans All program have already been successfully implemented in several school districts across the nation. A comprehensive pilot will be initiated in the San Diego and Chicago public schools in the fall of 1989. . . .
The Coordinating Committee was the predecessor of the People of
America Foundation, the nonprofit that now operates Americans All.
