Today marked an important milestone for the City of Cleveland, the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, Third Federal Foundation, and many more community-based organizations who joined together over the last 11 months to plan for the launch of the Family Academy, a school-community partnership to help youth achieve academically, help their parents support this learning process, and prepare teachers to lead this effort.
Well, today it happened!
In addition to the founding partners of the project, community members assembled at the East Education Campus (formerly known as East High School) where students performed music, song and poetry to secure their place in this important school-community partnership. They made the initiative relevant and instantly created the context for what our schools are all about. . . our youth, our future!
