Clinton schools set meeting to share ideas HURON COUNTY - The focus of all of the elementary and secon- dary schools in Huron County is the efficient and effective education of all of Huron County's youth. At an organizational meeting held on Jan- uary 31, the "Strength in Partner- ship Committee" again addressed the question, "How can we as Par- ent Associations in Huron County better help to enhance the educa- tional process?" And again this year the committees have decided to an- swer this question by providing a discussion forum for parents and educators representing all schools in Huron County. The idea is to share ideas that have been proven to work well. Acco Jing to Clarence Bos, committee member in charge of public relations, the evening is designed to be a forum for sharing success stories deemed worthwhile to try in other schools as well as for sharing warnings about pitfalls to be avoided. On Wednesday, April 17. from 6:30 - 9:30 p.m. the Parent Associ- ations of Clinton Public School (CPS), Clinton and District Chris- tian School (CDCs) and St. Jo- seph's Separate School In Clinton have planned an enjoyable evening of learning and sharing for all par- ents and educators in Huron County. lids . second annual vvgeningbe ht� ein di cafetori- um of St. Anne's Catholic Secon. dary School in Clinton.

He adds, "Everyone knows that the student's achieve- ment occurs in direct proportion to parental involvement with the child's education. The Strength in Partnership committee hopes to of- fer all parents and educators an op- portunity to discuss ways to 'strengthen the partnership' be- tween parents, teachers and stu- dents, as well as schools and other community organizations, in order to improve the educational oppor- tunities for all of Huron County's children. We want to get parents directly involved again with their children' education." Clarence Bos said that the com- mittee promises an exciting eve- ning. Readers are urged to spread the word.
