Parents Realize the American Dream

family engagement program called Realizing the American Dream concluded with a graduation ceremony for 14 parents who attended the 10-week program.  Conducted entirely in Spanish, the program taught parents how to help their children with schoolwork at home, motivate their children, build their child's reading skills, work as partners with teachers, the principal and other staff, make a plan to help their child succeed academically and graduate from high school ready to go to college.  Superintendent Dr. GwenCarol Holmes spoke at the graduation ceremony.
