School Programs Require C ommunit Partioip ation School improvement not only requires student par- ticipation, but also parent and faculty participation. So contrary to what many students might believe, school does not end when the aftemoon bell rings. On Tues- day, October 17, Paschal High School held its annual Open House for all visitors. The Get Acquainted Night program included performances by the Spirit Steppers and the band. Refreshments were also served in the large cafeteria. Parents strolled through the front halls getting acquainted with administrators and fac- ulty. They also had an opportunity to sign up for PTA. Another activity which involved parents was Project Share. Its purpose was to begin and maintain a strong relationship between teachers, parents, and pupils. Pro- ject Share encouraged students to enlist the help of par- ents and teachers in an effort to improve study habits. Project Pride, a school clean-up campaign, was another result of a school improvement plan. It sum- moned the aid of various clubs and sports teams to help advertise the project. Each organization or team wrote announcements and made posters that urged everyone to help, proving that school improvement begins with school involvement.
