[quote=Anonymous]With regard to the question of who runs the classroom parties, my experience has been mostly similar to NOVA mom's experience. Our PTA has started to be more proactive about getting Spanish speaking parents involved by drawing in parents who are fluent in both languages to interpret and translate and just make them feel more welcome. That has helped a lot. One thing I've noted is that all the kids in SFHs get involved in sports at school while the immigrant of low SES families don't. That is unfortunate because it's place where the kids can develop friendships outside school. I don't know that the fees should be cost prohibitive since often there are full scholarships available, but those families probably just don't have support in knowing how to navigate the paperwork required.[/quote]
