Heart House has always promoted parental involvement
in our after school program. Research shows that children who have
parents that are active in their academics have a stronger educational
foundation for the future. One parent has been actively involved with
the program ever since she enrolled her two children, three years ago.
Tennille Parks works as a full time dental assistant,
and is a student, as well as a single mother of two. She has found the
time and energy to dedicate to the program at Heart House because it is
important for her to be involved in her children’s lives on an academic
and social level.
Tennille often comes into Heart House on Fridays, and
without any instruction, begins cleaning the areas that she sees need
attention. She is proactive and helpful, and has a wonderful rapport
with the staff and the children at Heart House. Tennille is a part of
Heart House and has enjoyed her involvement.
She particularly enjoyed
helping Heart House with the haunted house last Halloween.
“The kids had such a great time and I think
that we really scared them!” Tennille has a fun loving and light hearted
attitude that she brings with her when she volunteers with the children
at Heart House.
