Step 1: Identify a small group of interested parents, administrators, and school staff.

Step 2: Create a mission statement.

Step 3: Develop a curriculum for 1 or 2 grades. Start small and add more each year.

Step 4: Partner with your PTO for support, volunteers, and funds. Create a PTO committee to sustain the program from year to year.

Remember that members of the APS board would be happy to help you get started!

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” -- Margaret Mead
