Parent University 2010

2nd Annual Parent University

NBES Dee Renfroe Parent UniversityParents braved the pouring rain to attend the Brooks County Schools’ second annual Parent University. This parent event was co-sponsored by the School Parent Involvement program and the ECHOES 21st Century Community Learning Centers program.  Parents came to the middle school on a Saturday morning to attend workshops and gather information to help them assist their children in school.  Many businesses donated door prizes for the half-day workshop.  They were Valdosta Technical College, Signarama, Brooks County Farm Bureau, Colony Bank, Brooks County Economic Development, and Ameris Bank.  This was a collaborative effort between all schools and will be an annual event. The purpose of Parent University is to communicate with and engage parents and guardians with PreK – 12th grade students in small workshop sessions on how to be more involved as partners with the Brooks County Schools and to educate parents about important issues that our students face in the 21st century.  Pictured is Dee Renfroe sharing with parents where to find coupons at the 2nd Annual Parent University.
