How parents can minister to public schools.

PARENTS WHO PRAY, CARE AND SHARE MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
The following suggestions are constitutionally appropriate ways in which I can serve public schools

PRAY:

• Pray personally for how you can be used of God in local schools.
• Recruit a few other parents to pray with you.
• Ask your child's educators how you can specifically pray for them.
• Yield to how God may use you to care for and share the Gospel with people in your local schools.

CARE:

• Chat with and get to know those for whom you are praying.
• Ask what you can do to help the school/educator solve a problem
• Seek community parents and resources to find solutions or to help with issues.
• Relieve a teacher or principal by volunteering.
• Encourage educators by sending affirming notes or treats delivered to teacher's lounge.

SHARE:

• Start a community Release Time program or After School Program.
• Give educators Christian based matreials that are legally appropriate to use in the classroom.
• Invite your child's educators to your church for a specific event such as a Christmas program, children's choir performance, or Teacher recognition service.
• hare your family's faith and values at your parent/teacher's conferences.
