When communities come together around their neighborhood schools, everyone benefits.
Ongoing discussions and connections with local business representatives, faith-based partners, parents and social service groups help schools meet the daily challenges faced by kids and teachers. By sitting around the table together on a regular basis, those representatives' passion for helping kids succeed flows both upstream and down. Local businesses, communities and civic organizations benefit from well-educated students, and students begin to trust in the support and encouragement of a vocal community of advocates.
