    Saving Shorty has been an asset to Dewey Academy. We have experienced various incidents on campus in which Saving Shorty staff members have provided crucial support. Our site has felt safe over the past few days which is attributed to the presence of this organization. Students at Dewey benefit from having positive adults on their campus.

    Please let us keep the Saving Shorty program. At our school site we have high risk students that often get violent and dangerous incidents occur regular. The 3 members from save shorty have been essential for de-escalating fighting between students, attacks on teachers, and carefully resolving an incident with students who brought a gun on campus. Please help keep our high intensity school site safe by continuing to fund Save Shorty. It may seem to others that these folks are not needed, but we are in deep need of their continued support.
