Urban League Hosts Back-to-School Parent Leadership Conference
Parents were equipped with knowledge at the Back-to-school parent leadership conference, as the annual event returned to the Midlands. The event aims to help students that may be struggling in the classroom, sharing tools and knowledge with parents that could help keep their kids on track academically.
Dozens of parents came out here to Trinity Baptist Church to find out more about educational resources that are out in the community that can help their children succeed.
“It’s really important that we reach out to the community and give them the tools that they need in order to meet the achievement standards,” said, J.T. McLawhorn, President and CEO of Columbia Urban League (Columbia, SC).
It tells parents how certain processes in the education system work and introduces them to statewide resources that aim to help students grow up into hard-working adults.
