Our third annual "Showcase of
Schools." scheduled for this Saturdav
at Biggs Park Mall, promises to offer
parents and the general publican even
more detailed demonstration of
projects and programs taking place in
our schools than did previous shows.
When the first exhibition took place
in 1998. it was, of course, a new effort
with a certain amount of experimentation
tak i ng place by the various schools
to see how best to highlight their
schools. After a couple of years of
experience, though, the people at those
schools are more familiar with what
needs to be done to set up an effective
booth to properly show off the things
that the school is proud of and wants
the public to see.
From the very first Showcase,
though, the idea was to not only give
parents and the general public some
information about what is going on in
our schools but also to encourage parents,
community and business support
fnr thp PllKIJ/v C oKaaIp r*f DnKornn
County. It's an example of making our
system rjtore customer-oriented.
Beyond parents being able to see
what their child's current school is
doing it also gives them the opportunity
to see what the next school their
child will anend might be involved
with. I ( the child, for example, is about
to complete his or her education at an
elementary school and the parent
knows what middle school the child
will be attending next year, then they
have the opportunity visit the booth of
that school and get an idea of the type
of projects which that school may be
undertaking. It gives them a kind of
preview of what they might expect.
On hand at each booth Saturday
will be principals, teachers and other
school personnel as well as members
'A? school's PTA who are in a
position to discuss with the parents
what the booth is displaying from a
parent's viewpoint. Remember, the
^^^^^^^^^venUstohelp promote the
understanding that parents are true
partners in their children's education
and that they can best be partners if
they are well-informed. Viewing the
programs on display in the booths and
asking questions of those overseeing
them is one way that can be accomplished.
In addition to the booths, a variety
of entertainment will be available at
center stage in the mall. Besides providing
visitors with a change of pace,
the entertainment will provide an
excellent example of what our outstanding
Arts Program is
accomplishing with our students.
Please try to find some time between
I0a.m.and2p.m. this Saturday
to visit with us at Biggs Park Mail
during the "Showcase of Schools." A
lot of effort has been put into preparing
the displays and whether you're a
parent or grandparent of a student or
of a child who will soon be entering
school or just a citizen interested in
education, I think you'll be impressed
with what our schools are doing to
work towards progress for Robeson
County through education. Another
hing you'll see is the pride that those
n the booths feel about the programs
hey're displaying.
