Educating children is a shared responsibility between parents and teachers. When parents participate in their child's school experience, everyone wins. Teachers can gain valuable resources when parents are involved in the classroom. Parents can enrich the classroom curriculum by their different cultures, their careers, music, sports, and other experiences in various areas. Teachers can always use an extra set of hands and adult role models in the classroom.
