Families at John Nevins Andrews Elementary in Takoma Park, Md., actually look forward to parent group meetings at the school. Attendees first participate in a multicultural family worship hour of song and music (with sign language), prayer, and games. Parents then go to another room for the Parent-Teacher Partnership meeting while their children enjoy games in the gym. The meeting features presentations on a variety of topics such as understanding temperaments, learning styles, and multiple intelligences. The meetings have been a great way to engage families new to the school, and attendance has doubled in the past year.
