I really love the family nights that we have here
I love planning them, I love it that our teachers are excited about coming to them
and that they convey that excitement to the students
Students tell their parents about it
and it is not uncommon to have 300 or 400 people in attendance
The parents know that when they come
they are going to get a good quality program
They will go away with learning something that will help their child succeed at school
That’s something that really makes a difference in my life
it makes me feel like I’m doing something worthwhile
I think for me, the exciting part about being a part of this VISTA experience is it’s about partnerships
That’s what I do in the district, that’s my role
I’ve been part of establishing partnerships with our community
with our schools, with the programs within our schools
We are trying to make it seem like a seamless entity
Establishing new partnerships for programs that benefit children and families
that is what is exciting about this, because that is what I’m all about children and families.
