[Gabs] FW: NABS Challenges You

[gaikens at nfbga.org]

Hi students,

Let’s step up to this challenge. I’m sure we can get at least 5 letters from students explaining why it is important to have accommodations in the classroom, or telling about a time you did not have accommodations and why it impacted you negatively. Even if you are a high school student, you can also write a letter. 

 

Please let me or Justin or Syed know if you need any assistance.

 

Best,

Greg

Greetings Federationists, 

With Washington Seminar right around the corner, we urgently need more personal testimony letters. Writing a letter is easy as pie if you use the template or read one of the samples attached to this email. 

I challenge your affiliate to gather at least five letters. We will be having some friendly federation competition to see which affiliate can produce the most letters. The first-place affiliate will receive a prize, which is yet to be announced, and national recognition for their support. 

Most importantly, this is an effortless way to make a significant impact. Please join us in our fight for equality in the classroom. 

Sincerely, 

               Syed Rizvi 

2nd Vice President | National Association of Blind Students
