[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can I just say that I like this thread very much? It gives me hope for my neighborhood school.[/quote]

Ditto, very cool to hear the raves and realism.  This is a very real source of optimism.

At some point another thread re: perspectives of parents who've been involved in "up and coming" schools on what they see as the main factors that led to their school's turnaround would also be a great thread.  For those of us with kids young enough to feel like if we invest now, it may actually benefit our own families (not that that has to be the only reason you invest time, energy and money).  But how to invest?  What have been the best places to put parent energy?  But sorry, like I said, a great other thread... Please carry on with the discussion of non-HRDCPS schools that you like or love, because this is great to hear![/quote]

In terms of investing in your neighborhood school, does it have a PTO? If so, I'd make a donation if you can afford it and join the PTO, going to meetings, seeing what it is that the school could use assistance with. My school has community members on the PTO and as volunteers in other capacities (helping to volunteer at events, taking charge of the community garden, etc.).[/quote]
