TVLA HOLDS successful open house and parent event

Thank you to all the parents and students who attended the Open House and Parent Event at TVLA on October 5.  The program is only as successful as its students and its students showed up with enthusiasm last week. 

The TVLA is proud to announce that 185 students attended the open house and 132 parents joined in for the parent event.

It also had 11 community partners there to help up kick off the 2016-17 school year with community awareness, outreach programs and continuing education opportunities available for the students and parents.

Thanks for the involvement of so many local area services: Michigan Works Youth Program, DHHS Foster Care Education, Wayne Metro, Taylor Teen Health Center, Memory Keepers Photography and U.S. Army.  

Also, in partnership with Beaumont Hospital Teen Health Center, the TVLA was able to successfully fill a very beneficial healthy "Cooking Matters" class for parents of TVLA students. 

Wayne State University, Baker College, Henry Ford College and Wayne County Community College District were also on hand to answer questions, helps students with enrollment opportunities, give advice and assistance with applications.

This year's open house was extremely successful because of the extra effort from the new Student Council.  They were able to raise money for TVLA student events with baked goods and their TVLA swag sale.

The Student Council also planned community outreach opportunities, including a Food Drive and Clothing Drive for Taylor Community Families. Additional money was also raised for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
