We are lucky to have the parents that we do. They help us in a lot of different ways. Some substitute for us or volunteer in the classrooms. We have a couple of parents who have book groups and read novels with children. That's very gratifying for them, but so beneficial for the children.
Some parents help with clerical needs that come up.
The parents also run a clothes closet for children. They have science nights and organize parent evenings. Our parent evenings always have an academic base. The evenings are really focused on the curriculum and what the children are doing in the classroom. Reynolds has been the full-time assistant principal at Poe for a year and a half.
