Community responds to new program

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the more than 400 parents who have already signed up for - and in many cases participated in - the recently launched Springfield Parent Academy.

The journey that has taken the Parent Academy from a concept to a reality has been an amazing one, filled with stories of commitment to and belief in the mission of the academy.

The fact that more than 400 people have already signed up is proof positive that our community was ripe for this unprecedented opportunity, which we believe will help strengthen our parents, our families, our students and our community. It has been made possible only through the hard work of many community organizations and will flourish only with parental engagement.

Once again, congratulations to all involved! To learn more about the Springfield Parent Academy and its free offerings, log on to www.SpringfieldParentAcademy.com.
