With the help of our Community Connections VISTA this past January, the Waverly Elementary Middle School PTO received a grant from Lowe’s for $3,600 to make a new parent room. With this money we are creating a special space for parents at the school that will be a lounge, work space, and resource center. The parent room is located in the middle school portable building. So far we have had two "decorate days" where we put together our new furniture, decorated the walls and installed three brand new computers! Soon we will have a resource library complete with materials on parenting, childhood development, how to help children in school, and much more. Soon parents will be able to come to the parent room to hang out, get information about the school, use the internet, use the printer and copy machines, or attend workshops and meetings. We hope the room will be a great resource to Waverly parents!
