We invite you to become a partner in our
Home-School Curriculum Connection by completing the Community
Resources Survey. The information collected will be used
to develop a Community Resources database to be shared with
teachers. We would like to strengthen our social network and
curriculum by finding local family, business and community members
who can assist in our educational programs. If you are interested or
you know of someone who would be able to assist and have a hobby or
expertise in a particular area(s), please on the link below to take
