What C.A.P.E. mean to me. C.A.P.E.'s meaning for me can be summed up in one word "EMPOWERING". Since joining C.A.P.E. I have been empowered to be a leader and empower other leaders in my school community. I have the opportunity to be involved in district conversations, see its inner-workings and meet the great administrators and leaders that are working to provide great opportunities to students. It has also allowed me to have a voice and believe that my voice is valued. Finally, C.A.P.E. has provided an opportunity for me to help PTAs and PTOs in the district better serve our students with great information and resources. I am happy to be a part of such a great information network.
I'm serving on the C.A.P.E. board because... The organization is committed to strengthening parent groups and ultimately students in our community. The great leaders of tomorrow are raised by great parents. If I can help to provide parents with resources that allow their students to be impactful as they prepare for the future, then my purpose on Earth has been served. Service through C.A.P.E. allows me to be a part of the growth and development of District 202 families, our community and ultimately, our world.
Ask me about: Please ask me about scholarship opportunities for students interested in attending college, programs to engage and encourage students to meet their full potential, and the mission of PTA and how its goals can successfully empower students within your school.
