back to school

Welcome to 2009!

On Friday, January 9, students enjoyed their Holiday Parties that were supposed to be on the last day of school before the break. Since school was cancelled due to snow, so were the parties. The kids at Cridersville had fun playing bingo, playing hot potato, listening to stories from the left and right (hi, Mrs. Doll's class!) and so much more.

The PTO would like to thank parents for donating their time and talents for the students at Cridersville. We wouldn't be able to do it without you!

You can always tell when students enjoy a school. Your blog came up on my Google News Alerts. Congratulations on connecting families in your school.

The family is a critical component to any child’s life. When it comes to education, no greater statistic stands truer today than the achievement gap between students whose parents are involved in their education process and those who do not have that support. Personal responsibility, safety and education are key elements to bringing up the next generation.

After 10 years of experience leading a volunteer program in my children’s elementary and middle schools, I launched Schools And Families Engaged (the S.A.F.E. TEAM on Campus) in 2008 to meet the needs of schools and families. Many of the school's families do not know where to begin in school. Many parents today never had an example of their parents supporting the school let alone they may not have enjoyed their personal schooling experience. Why would they have a desire to serve? You only know what you have experienced.

Make time to check out our site www.thesafeteam.com . On the About SAFE page, click on the 40 Developmental Assets link. This will tie in all the benefits of families and communities supporting their students both in school and out of school.
