2013 September 5
In this week’s edition of Breakthroughs, we look at a campus whose leader literally “took steps” this year to reach out to parents and show her commitment to her students and her community.

“One of the main reasons for the walk was to introduce parents to the challenge and get them to embrace it,” said Bell. “We have several options at Hartsfield Elementary, and failure is not one of them. The community walk showed parents that even though we are new to Hartsfield, we are in it for the long haul.”
