My name is Dezirey Blodgett, I am ASB Junior Class President at Palm Springs High School, and I would just like to take a moment of your time. With the current pandemic, students have been unable to participate in normal school activities for over a year, i.e. sports, dances, arts performances, and more. Students have been more than cooperative with the Distance Learning program set in place to allow us to continue our education even from home, but we all need time outside. I personally have only seen a few friends on 3 separate occasions throughout this entire time we have been out of school. People need contact, and not just online, but physically seeing each other is better for people, especially for students. Many students are struggling with their mental health because they are isolated every day and all day due to this pandemic. We at Palm Springs High School would simply like to ask for help on funding a caravan we would like to have. As we were unable to hold our annual Homecoming Parade in October, we would like to hold a caravan on April 14th as a smaller Homecoming Parade (just without floats or a large audience), along with a separate caravan for the Seniors at the end of the school year in June. The caravan will allow students to see one another in a controlled environment, and get out of the house to participate in something fun. We are currently running low on funding because we are unable to have fund raisers or we have very low participation outcomes, so it is very difficult for us to raise money this year. While we are trying our best to raise as much as we can for ASB as a whole and for each individual class, we would very much appreciate some financial support. Thank you for your time and have a nice day. 1 ITEMNO. \ \\ ------ Do(-iS\1oL--\ Anthony Mejia From: Sent: To: Subject: Palm Springs City Council, Kristen < 1315054033@psusd.us> Wednesday, March 24, 2021 11 :05 AM City Clerk Request for Funds My name is Kristen and I am a senior class member of the Palm Springs High School ASB. As you know, this past year has been very difficult for everyone, including us high school students. Through distanced learning, we have lost touch with our peers, lost motivation, and us seniors have missed out on what is supposed to be the most rewarding of our entire 12 years in the public education system. We have also lost the opportunity to raise funds for events, as well as have events. I am asking you to please consider providing funding to allow for us to create a homecoming caravan, senior caravan and senior banners for the homecoming parade that we will hopefully be able to to hold on Wednesday, April 14th. Being able to have these events safely will help us pull through to the end of the year, and allow us to end our senior years on a positive note. We all would love to have something to look forward to again. I ask that you please take our requests into consideration, and I thank you so much for taking the time to listen. Thank you!

The hardships I have endured and I know many have to is losing motivation for everything school work, talking during class, or even showing ourselves. We missed out on having our dances homecoming and winter formal. Being with our friends and having the social life during school. We haven't been able to do many fund raisers like we could have so we don't have a lot of money to do these activities. Doing these activities like homecoming caravan, an end of the year senior caravan, and hang up some banners of seniors downtown could raise our spirits because we know that someone is trying to help us become happy. To conclude, this is my petition for the city council to fund us to have these activities.

I'm the Junior Class Vice President at Palm Springs High School. Palm Springs High School hopes to receive a grant for funding in order to make our plan of a homecoming caravan, senior caravan, and senior banners at downtown become a reality. Due to the pandemic, distance learning has been difficult to maintain the spirit that PSHS has held every year. We have been able to manage with virtual events, like rallies, but it has been difficult. In a regular school year, ASB would have been able to fundraise in order to make this happen. However, due to the circumstances, we have not been able to fundraise so we do not have a budget for activities. Virtual events and spirit weeks have aided in keeping the school's spirit alive, but events like a homecoming caravan, senior caravan, and senior banners would boost our spirits even more! In a safe environment, we would have the ability to come together and enjoy this event, which we have not been able to do. This would be an amazing opportunity to bring the school together, support one another as this school year approaches an end, and celebrate our accomplishments. Thank you for listening! Have a great day! Best, Daveigh Espares PSHS Junior 1 ITE M NO. \ \4 o?:, ( l,) j--zoL \ Anthony Mejia From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Monique < 1315052087@psusd.us> Wednesday, March 24, 2021 9:59 AM City Clerk Tyrus Brown Palm Springs High School Grant Hello my name is Monique Yepiz and I am writing to you on behalf of the Associated Student Body for the Palm Springs High School Grant. With distant learning going on it is very difficult to do things and have a fun highschool experience. We were not really able to do any high school activities such as being able to watch rallies, or sports games which makes the highschool experience much better. Also, we physically in person can not do those activities. It is very hard to raise money when there are barely any places that would help us fundraise considering COVID-19 and this affects us a lot because we then can not afford to have some activities to boost the students' spirits. These events would be a homecoming caravan, senior caravan, and hanging senior banner. These events will help us raise the students' spirit. Such as this will be the first homecoming caravan freshman students will be able to have including myself. For the Sophomores and the Junior would be able to enjoy and create new memories as well. For the seniors it would be some good memories of their senior life. All in all this would bring much joy to all of the students and give them good memories in a really difficult time. Thank you for reading this and considering the Palm Springs High School Grant. Sincerely, Monique Yepiz.

My name is Zoe Posa, I am a sophomore at PSHS, and I am also a part of the Associated Student Body program. I am emailing about the upcoming City Council meeting that will decide if PSHS will get the funding for the Homecoming caravan, the senior caravan, and the senior posters. I personally believe that the City Council members should grant Palm Springs High School the funding for these activities. Distance learning has taken so much away from the students of PSHS. All we want is to live normal teenage lives but our current situation is preventing us from basic high school activities. This year's seniors had to spend their whole last year of high school at home. I think they deserve the caravan and the posters for everything they have to endure during COVID. Unfortunately, we are unable to do fundraisers to fund these projects so it really would be greatly appreciated for the Palm Springs City Council to fund these projects for our Homecoming and for our seniors. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. Zoe Posa Sophomore, Palm Springs High School ITEM NO._,\:\"'-"--- 03 / ~S/1-01_ \ 1
