Be There is a multi-media national parent involvement campaign that is sweeping the country. It is not a program or curriculum.
It is designed to inspire parents to be actively involved in their child's education and learning experiences, whether they are at school, at home, in the park, at the mall, at an event, or shopping.
The campaign focuses on little reminders that there are teachable moments all around us, even for those parents whose schedules may not permit them to be at a school event or extra-curricular activity during the course of the school day or after school.
Be There is a campaign that inspires adults to make ordinary moments extraordinary by encouraging parents to engage with their children during the daily routines of life and by doing so, they'll discover that teachable moments are everywhere.
What you do to turn an ordinary moment into an extraordinary teachable moment for you and your child? Share with us. Print this out and return it to your child's school.
