About the Project

This Family Engagement grant proposal aims to strengthen partnerships between families and the school to help close the achievement gap between socio-economically disadvantaged (SED) and non-SED students. Through a year-long series of events focused on literacy, STEAM education, and relationship-building, families will be invited to participate in meaningful, hands-on learning experiences. The project seeks to create a welcoming environment where families feel valued as essential members of the school community. By fostering trust and connection between staff and families, the project will support students’ academic, social, and emotional growth. The goal is to ensure that every child and family feels heard, supported, and connected through shared, engaging learning opportunities.
