Parent Mentor Program

 We are proud to have successfully completed our fourth year of sponsoring the Parent Mentor Program at East Prairie.  The Parent Mentor Program is a nationally recognized parent engagement model that builds deep and lasting relationships between students, teachers, and families.  This program has been a phenomenal way to involve parents within our classroom and further connect with our community.  In only four years our community has built this program to be the largest in the township, involving over 30% of the mentors.
