Administrator testimony from the field: Carol Hall, administrator of The Broach School in Bradenton invited parents to the Anthropological Dig on Thursday October 16 from 6 -7 PM. She was a bit nervous, never having done a parent meeting like this! Her nerves turned to excitement quickly watching parents enthusiastically participate in the walk-about, giving feedback and suggestions for two-way communication. They were still on campus at 8 PM, and Carol practically had to turn the lights out to get parents to leave! Carol attributes the success of the parent event to the Success Partners Module 3 agenda, norms, activities and suggested script.

Dr. Ann Davis and staff at Incarnation Catholic School in Sarasota had 1000 Good News Grams printed! The good news about a student is shared by mail with the family. The front office is collecting data on how many cards are sent out each month, and Dr. Davis is compiling 'Good News Prompts' to help teachers find the right words of encouragement!
