RIPIN partnering with Cumberland to kick off town learning community

Happy New Year to all of you!

Behind the scenes, we've been putting the pieces together to kick-off the Community Involvement Committee. I'm really excited about the possibilities that are available to us with this dynamic group of teachers, parents, and community members who have been nominated.

Yesterday I got a commitment from the Rhode Island Parent Information Network (RIPIN) to help us organize the committee. Since parents will be a core element of the membership of the committee, the workshops they can offer us to support the development of this group will be free.

I'd like to meet with a small group of the Strategic Planning Committee who would be interested in steering this work. Let me know if you have an interest in stepping forward to help organize this...otherwise, I'll be in touch with several of you in the next week.

Thanks to those of you who graciously volunteered to become the Steering Committee for the Community Involvement Committee...Lisa, Karen, Dee, Ryan, Rosemary, Linda. Cindy will be setting up our first meeting so we can get together in the next two weeks.

What a great cross-section of members! Also, the RIPIN workshops will be a great complement. We hosted a few RIPIN workshops when I was PTO leader a few years back - they were nicely attended and provided very valuable info to parents.
