The Parent Involvement Committee at Newman Elementary School organized a successful holiday event today which allowed parents to visit their child in the classroom and work on a Christmas ornament project. Pictured above is Susie Lozano’s first grade class who had several parent visitors. Each parent enjoyed working on the project with their child and interacting with other students and parents in the classroom.
Parents also packed Sandra Duarte’s pre-kinder classroom to decorate ornaments as well. Pictured, from left to right, standing, are: Duarte, parents Erika and Chris Birch, and Imelda Torres, school counselor. Front row, left to right, are: brothers Mathieu and Ethan Birch. “This project helped us all in get into the holiday spirit,” Torres said. The goal of the event was to promote the importance of parental involvement by having parents work on a creative activity with their child. Studies have linked parental involvement to student success.
