Parent Engagement Institute in Springfield

We are thrilled to announce that our dedicated Parent Mentor Coordinator, Tanya Abbey, recently took part in the Parent Engagement Institute in Springfield, where she enthusiastically championed our program! Alongside our PEI representatives, she engaged with members of the House of Representatives, spreading excitement and awareness about our initiatives. At the Education Appropriations Hearing, she had a wonderful opportunity to connect with our local State Representative, Joyce Mason, inspiring everyone in attendance. What an energizing experience! We invite you to enjoy the video below that highlights her journey.
