This year we worked to galvanize parents in an intentional way, by addressing the needs of scholars and families beyond the classroom. This was done by building coalition through parent involvement boards and inviting community leaders to support our schools. These efforts resulted in community partnerships with churches that support food disparities, Hope Credit Union, providing financial literacy, and organizations that assist with housing hardships.
