PAASSC partners with Mama Earth Magazine

I am excited to announce a recent partnership with the Founder of Mama Earth and BEAMS Village Academy, Ajuana Black. Affectionately, referred to by her students as Mama Ajuana.

In the fall we will co-host a conference that will provide parents with tools and techniques that promote academic success for African American students. While we will include a workshop on the benefits of bilingual education, this workshop will primarily address many of the fundamental issues faced by parents of African American students (college prep, childhood attachment, healthy eating, discipline strategies, selecting a preschool, increasing parent involvement, addressing the achievement gap and gender differences).

We are seeking speakers for the various panels as well as volunteers for the event.

Please subscribe to our newsletter if you would like to receive more information about the planning process and how you can be involved. We are looking for members to assist with the following subcommittees: public relations, speakers, food, operations, video/photography, equipment/technical support, etc.

Please stay tuned for more information.
