Community Power
It takes a villiage to raise a child." African Proverb
Schools, parents, and the community around Jones H. S. and Worthing H. S. should work together to promote the health, well-being, and learning of all students. When schools actively involve parents and engage community resources, they are able to respond more effectively. Family and community involvement fosters partnerships among schools, families, community groups, and individuals. These partnerships result in sharing and maximising resources. And they help children and youth develop healthy behaviors and promote healthy families.
Additionally, linking the student to the community:
- Positively impacts academic achievement
- Reduces school suspension rates
- Improves school-related behaviors
- Develops a sense of ownership and pride in their community
