When adults

VOLUNTEER,

all students benefit!

“No matter their income or background, students with involved parents are more likely to have higher grades and test scores, attend school regularly, have better social skills, show improved behavior, and adapt well to school.”

-Research from the National Coalition for Parent Involvement in Education

“When a child can see that their parent(s) is supporting them, they are more likely to take risks and learn something new instead of staying inside the box.”

- HiMama, early childhood educator and junior account specialist

"The most accurate predictors of student achievement in school are not family income or social status, but the extent to which the family . . . becomes involved in the child’s education at school."

- National PTA
