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.
