Here are a few examples:

"My daughter has developed a great love for chess at school and it is now her favorite pastime" #EmpowerLSP.

"It was a proud moment for us to know that our daughter considered her 1st heroes/heroines Malcolm X, Queen Nzinga, Harriet Tubman and Bob Marley. When it came time for her to start Kindergarten she was well prepared and sought after by the best elementary schools in NYC. A foundation unlike any other was set for academic success." #EmpowerLSP

Little Sun People Class Parent Mission Statement:

When a school has support, it is able to do a better job of educating our children. The primary goal of the Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) is to support Little Sun People Inc. (LSP) and make every family at LSP feel connected to the LSP community. In addition to supporting and building community within the classroom, the PAC also serve as communication liaisons between the classroom teacher(s) and the families at Little Sun People. We are called upon to make things happen in the classroom, whether it’s acting as a resource to other parents, raising money, rallying volunteers, or assisting on a field trip.

The Parent Advisory Committee is committed to providing this support throughout the school year, and will meet once a month on the second Wednesday of each month. The elected PAC board members will be on hand in person and via email throughout the year to provide the LSP parent community with support and information.
