Mrs_Leonffu https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/zxouk5h568fw75r1/wish/1561472346 I think that we should at least give parents the option to pay a minimal fee (it would make them more responsible and accountable), but still provide free programs for families that are struggling.

I was a part of a program (Patheays to College) that took Hillhouse kids on trips to visit/tour college campuses and explore the cities therein.
