Holly Harshman Elementary hosted their first of four parental involvement activities for fathers and sons of HHE this past Friday at the Mena vs. Malvern game. Admittance to the game and coke and popcorn were provided for an evening of quality time for these young men with their dad. Family involvement facilitator, Vicky Maye shares that while statistics are showing that fathers spend only 37 seconds of quality time with children a day, we at HHE are working to break that trend and through our parental involvement plan, we want parents to understand that THEY make ALL difference for their child to succeed. Next on our calendar will be a Mom/Daughter Day that will be hosted by the Rich Mountain Community College School of Cosmetology. A special one on one date for hair and nails will be a perfect “girls day out” for our girls and their moms! We will be sending letters home soon for our girls to sign up for this event. Spring semester will bring our popular Father/Daughter Night and our second annual Mom/Son Make It Take It Day! Thanks to all those who participated in the Father/Son at Bearcat Stadium! Together We Continue To Make Great Things Happen!
