WELCOME TO EDUCATION
The kids of Modesto are our future. There are schools in town that need
your partnership. They will leave a permanent mark on our city. If you
have a business or a talent, please browse our list of schools and email
the principle to get hooked up. Here are a listing of the Modesto schools
that have websites. Many of these are built and created by kids. Very
cool.
We must be involved in what is happening in our kids school Check out the High School Foodball Schedule. Click here for the PDF file

LEAD THOUGHT
Quality of life is important to all of us. When someone moves to Modesto
for quality of life, there are usually young kids involved or they just
want to get out of the rat race. Both things are possible here. Modesto
has some great educational opportunities and as a parent you have to get
involved. Working in the class and joining the PTA are two great ways.
Occasionally you need to get involved with some of the big picture.
We need to make sure that our schools do not censor books based on cetain
religious positions of some parents. Not only that, parents that do not
have kids in our high school system. Where do we stop? Who decides what
is right or wrong? Are our kids in IB and AP more intelligent than some
give credit? We need challenging and intelligent literature with availabiliy
based on the complete text, vs. selected salacious sound bites. If a custom
tailored education is reuired, then private school, charter or home schooling
is recommended. Contact the Modesto City School Board.
Their emails are can be found here.

SCHOOL
PARTNERSHIPS
A school is only as good as it's students and teachers. How are these
students getting prepared for the future. Will the kids of today be ready
for the work force? What are the opportunities? There is a great organization
called SPIE. Stanislaus County Partners in Education is linking schools
with local businesses. Get involved as every school can benefit. It is
as simple as an hour a month to read to students or you can host a whole
program. Check out these business that are already taking the lead.

FEATURED SCHOOL - Check out the Open Plan.
The kids at Freemont School have been doing some great things. The Freemont Open plan is a unique plan that brings out the best in the students and teaches a full program. Parents are encouraged to participate and the system is very creative. Freemont Open plan is avaialble to any student in Modesto through a sign up program. Space is limited. Check out the website. Our kids are doing wonderful things.
Let them know what you think. Take an active roll in your kids education,
or even if you do not have kids, you can get involved with schools in
town. Contact Stanislaus County Partners in Education (SPIE) to get hooked
up. It is worth it.
