Our main event for this year's PIEM was the Parent Empowerment Summit held on February 16th, at the Lee's Auditorium. The feedback from those that attended, as well as those who watched the special showing on KVZK TV later, has been very positive. ASPIRC regonizes that the success of Parent Involvement in Education Month this year would not have been possible without the support of parents, principals, teachers, PTAs, and many other community partners.
