PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO PARTICIPATE IN NATIONAL PARENT PROGRAM
FEB. 11
February 7, 2002
Many Miami-Dade County public schools will offer activities
in observance of the seventh annual National African
American Parent Involvement Day's (NAAPID) "Take Your Child
To School/Visit Your Child in School" Day on Monday,
February 11.
Established in public schools in Ann Arbor, Michigan in
1995, NAAPID's goal is to provide greater opportunity for
urban parents to become more involved in their children's
education. Observed on the second Monday of February each
year, the day is a call to action and the setting aside of a
common time for parents to visit their children at
school.

Chairperson, Cultural Diversity and Intergroup Relations, at
