Keene Mill Elementary School hosted this year’s Take Your Family to School Week to support student success. National PTA's Take Your Family to School Week is a program encouraging strong family engagement and the importance of partnerships among parents, teachers and school administrators. For the 2014-2015 academic school year, Take Your Family to School Week will incorporate the theme Supporting Student Success, which will address the risks associated with high school dropout.
Keene Mill Elementary PTA received a grant from the National PTA and AXA Foundation to host a Family Science Night. This fun and educational event led by the Carnegie Science Center was held on Feb. 25. The event allowed Keene Mill Elementary School students and families to engage in hands-on science activities.
“The Keene Mill PTA, with the support of our school, strives to engage our families by offering fun, community events. We are grateful for this grant and the additional opportunity, as we know what a difference it makes for our students to have families involved,” said Kelly Wevley, Keene Mill ES PTA President.
