Game On - from SACAC
"Sponsor" a College from Hume Fogg (TY Hume Fogg)

Bev notes:
Analyze Current Programming: Bearden had a history of having 3 evening workshops that targeted a small population (upper middle). Attendance was sparse (e.g., 75 at 3 sessions)

Action Plan: We approached the "Parent to Parent" group of PTSO and asked to partner with building a series of 6 workshops on several topics.

With parents at the planning table, they handled promoting the events, making copies, set-up, etc...

Results: Attendance increased from 225 to 527 at evening programs.
