As a school that primarily serves minority families, it is critical that we develop the capacity of our school staff and families in order to engage as partners that advocate and support the academic and social-emotional well-being of all our students. Family engagement is not something that Grace James staff does to families, but something that we are developing and cocreating as a team in order to work together to ensure the mission and vision is attainable for all children.” La'Tonya C. Frazier-Goatley Grace James Academy of Excellence Since the Nebraska SFEC began in 2018, we’ve seen great growth in things like social connectedness, academic achievement for the young people in the program, adult education gains, and student attendance gains that we all know lead to stronger communities long term.” Dr. Joshua Cramer Nebraska Children and Families Foundation I am more involved in teaching and developing my children. What I enjoy most is the time I spend with my child in her classroom and seeing how she interacts with her peers. It also allows me to have better communication with her teacher. On the other hand, the English classes have helped me a lot in my day-to-day. It has given me more certainty and confidence in myself.” Rosa Victoria Participant My kids are off to a great start in their academic careers. I am able to provide for my family because of the opportunities and experiences that I’ve gained. My family literacy program has always integrated my Diné language and culture, expressed their kinship with me, and acknowledged my Diné traditional upbringing and background. The incorporation of Diné language and culture and what FACE stands for is something that is truly effective for our young students.” Wilphina Family and Child Education (FACE) program participant Make a Difference Your tax-deductible donation to NCFL helps families gain education skills they need to succeed.
