Why Join Policy Council?
|
"I was very nervous at first because I was not sure what to expect. I’m very glad I tried it out. This is a wonderful group of people who truly care about our children.
"Being involved with Policy Council has given me confidence that my children are in a great program, and I get to be a part of that foundation. I have met some amazing people, made some great friends and connections. |
"It does not matter our walk of life, Policy Council is all about encouragement and support to better our children’s education. Policy Council offers a judgement free zone where you can feel free to share your thoughts and ideas with those who help shape these programs for our children.
"I highly recommend trying it out since there is no commitment unless you want to be more involved. Who knows what differences you can make in a child’s life by being involved," said Nikki, a parent and Policy Council member.
