Involvement in any language

Parents at Galway Elementary in Silver Spring, Md. may not always speak the same language, but they all want the best possible education for their children. That's why the PTA started the Galway Guides program, in which parents mentor families whose first language is not English.

Parents at Galway Elementary in Silver Spring, Md. may not always speak the same language, but they all want the best possible education for their children. That's why the PTA started the Galway Guides program, in which parents mentor families whose first language is not English. The guides help families navigate the school and the community, arranging translators for parent-teacher conferences and informing families about ESOL classes and other services. What a great way to build involvement by all parents, no matter what language they speak!
