It has been said that to teach a child to enjoy books is to open a window to a world of wonder; to the past and to the imagined future. It is to give a child a lifelong gift...
Parents are expected to be supportive of the school, supportive of the administration and faculty, supportive of its policies and to be fully engaged in the educational lives of their children.

How wonderful it would be if every parent would make a special effort to make an encouraging comment to his/her child's teachers during the first week of school.
