Parent's Action Day 2011

Parents Action Day at the state capitol was a smashing success. Parents and partners from throughout the Metro Atlanta area converged on the Capitol in support of what was an amazing testament to the power of people, who care, in the lives of children. The forum was the 3rd annual. An event brought about for the purpose of rallying and celebrating parents who care enough to make a tangible difference in a student's life, and making the concerns of the parents of Atlanta-area students known to those that can most dramatically affect their lives: lawmakers.
 Pilot Program, a youth leadership organization, presented middle and high school students who eloquently placed their own concerns before the feet of those who have the power to address their agendas.

Parent Action Team co-founder Vernetta Nuriddin, ever so finessefully, made quite a compelling case regarding the cuts that affect the education of our children, and ultimately the condition of our country. I look forward to Parent Action Day 2012.
