Family involvement has been shown to improve student achievement. Parents are regularly invited to speak in class. We also invite families to serve on a school committee (board of directors, fundraising, event or after-school committees).<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the year, we organize family-focused events, such as apple picking, dance parties, and farm outings so that families have an opportunity to socialize outside the school grounds. The school also invites families in for a School Breakfast a few times each year. This is a really enjoyable moment for families, teachers, and children to come together, and a great way to start the day!<\/p>\n<p>Each year, the school receives support from parents who are fully engaged in different projects.
