Community Engagement - Community of Resources Houston

We provide resources to help bring families on campus, as contact with families improves communication about student needs and circumstances.

Community events bring families on campus to facilitate conversations with teachers, administrators, and staff. Engaging with families and providing family support – including funding food and activities for younger children – can allow parents to attend PTO meetings, teacher conferences, performances, and college information sessions, all of which help keep students focused on learning.

COR Houston has supported a variety of special events at Title I schools that promote community engagement. Some examples include:

**Typical outdoor celebration pack, including face paint, bubble wands, sidewalk chalk, and hula hoops**

**Outdoor games and book giveaway at Foerster Elementary School, October 2024**

**Community Garden and Beautification Day at Mistral Early Childhood Center, October 2022**

**Book giveaway and Imagination Library signup at Foerster Elementary School, September 2022**

**Book giveaway at Westbury Feeder Pattern Back to School Event, August 2021**
