COMMUNITY AIDE PURPOSE: An advocate for the student, liaison for the schools and homes, in or¬ der to bring about a more positive work¬ ing relationship to obtain a higher and better educational level. WE BELIEVE Every child can learn. The school is a community institution. Good education is the result of parents, teachers and pupils working together. There are new and interesting ways of teaching. Each child ' s learning needs are different. Each child should feel important as a person. The school program must contribute to the moral and spiritual values of the child. Every adult should feel responsible to all the children in the community. The best discipline is self-discipline. PARENTS NEED THE HELP OF TEA¬ CHERS, AND TEACHERS NEED THE HELP OF PARENTS. UNITED WE CAN GO FORWARD POSITIVELY.
