Signers Wanted - Part II

Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),

Another academic year has come to a close and we have experienced a wealth of challenging academic and social reform and changes, but through it all we have maintained our resolve to provide our children with a structured quality education that is engaging, competitive and in preparation for future successes!

Many of you may not be familiar with Parents Empowering Parents, its mission, vision and governing philosophy; PEP is a Parent driven organization that works with parents, parent organizations, school management teams, and the community to provide leadership, training and support for parental involvement initiatives throughout the Plainfield School District. As the newly elected President for PEP I wanted to take a moment to introduce you to The Power of ‘C’. No -- it’s not a vitamin, but IT IS good for you!


The Power of “C” is about reclaiming our Commitment [to our schools and our children], Communication [open, honest, meaningful, consistent, timely], and Collaboration [Schools, Parents and Community]. PEP is currently establishing a Cooperative of fully engaged and empowered individuals committed to holding themselves, their schools and their community accountable for preparing our children to be competitive and successful members of this global landscape.

PEP will engage in a citywide recruitment campaign based on the tenets of The Power of ‘C and aimed toward parental involvement. We need parents/guardians to join this collaborative effort to reignite our passion and parental involvement inside and outside of the classroom. It is my sincere hope that you will join us in embracing and affirming our commitment, communication and collaborative efforts to ensure a safe and nurturing school environment conducive to learning and academic excellence. Let’s WORK TOGETHER – to establish, maintain, and enhance our Commitment, Communication and Collaboration!

Yours in Education and Success
PEP Executive Board
