NORFOLK SCHOOLS Grade:  (C+) 

Grandmothers, mothers, and women (GMW), of Norfolk in particular and all  Norfolkians in General. Our city and schools are on a slippery slope, and sliding downward continually.

The mayor:  Kenneth Alexander and superintendent: Dr. Sharon Byrdsong, You have been elected and selected to direct the course of Norfolk, by the people of Norfolk and for the people of Norfolk. There’s no reason for Norfolk Schools to  have a C+ grade. It’s incumbent upon each of us to make sure our children are better cared for.

Founder Geri Collins In 2002 Grandmothers, mothers and women saving our children was born (GMWSOC) It was time for the hands that rocks the cradles to be heard so the hand burying our children could be put to better use. I knew the problems our children face were huge, the price was high and non-refundable and the currency was their lives. I’m a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, who realized it was going to take a village to raise a child; but the village needed to be fixed by us, (GMW), before we could trust our children to it. Grandmothers, mothers and women (Gmw), Rosa Parks sat down as one woman and changed a nation, now we must stand and make it better.
