Brooklyn to honor the commitment and dedication of Parent Coordinators

Senator Parker in partnership with Healthfirst host an Appreciation Day Breakfast

Brooklyn, NY - State Senator Kevin Parker (D-21) in partnership with Healthfirst will host the 1st Annual "Parent Coordinator Appreciation Day" Breakfast. Parent Coordinators successfully enrich schools by conducting outreach to increase parent involvement in school life. Their support of school activities are essential to our community. This remarkable event provides an opportunity to recognize parent coordinators significant contributions to the quality of life and the progression of our education system. It is also a chance for all people to gain a greater appreciation of the roles of Parent Coordinators. As a champion for education, Senator Parker states that, "Teaching is the greatest act of optimism. This event recognizes the outstanding commitment and dedication of Parent Coordinators whose dedication to children provides parents and families with a powerful voice to speak on behalf of every child.”
