LEAD Families Connect with Community Partners at Cameron Resource Fair
Family engagement is an important part of student success at LEAD Public Schools. In April, families gathered to connect with vital community partners at the LEAD Cameron Resource Fair.
“This event provided one central space for families to learn about and engage with so many amazing community partners in Nashville,” said LEAD Cameron Counselor Stephanie Shockley. “This event not only made our families aware of the resources available to them but also gave them the opportunity to start making those connections first hand.”
At the Resource Fair, community partners from across Nashville talked with families to make them aware of the resources available at their fingertips. This also opened up conversation to make partners aware of the unique needs of our schools, students and families.
“When families don’t have some of the basic necessities, they’re not able to focus on being engaged with their students’ education,” said Family Engagement Coordinator Rania Agaib. “Engaging our families at the
Resource Fair was a simple way to provide them with some of the resources that could lift some of the challenges they have.”
