National African American Parent Involvement Day 2023 Hayes Elementary, Stevenson Elementary and Fridley Middle School invited parents and guardians to have lunch with their students on Feb 6 as a part of National African American Parent Involvement Day (NAAPID). NAAPID was created by Joe Dulin, an educator and principal from Ann Arbor Public Schools, in 1995 as a call to action to get parents more involved in their students' education. For some parents and guardians it was their first experience getting to see their students in a school setting and meeting their friends. TaShana Nelson, mother to 5th grade FMS student Daviana Starks, said, "It's nice to be able to drop in and see her in her own element." Students were equally excited to share their school day with their parents. Camila Gonzalez, 1st grade student at Hayes Elementary said "it's really fun for all of us to be together in the school." Many parents like Yahtia Taylor, mother to Hayes 4th grader Yahniece, emphasized the significance of the event as both a teaching and bonding opportunity for their families. "We have to come through for our kids," she said. "This is important to them." |
