Building a Community Week by Week.

Sterling, Mary

Educational Leadership, v56 n1 p65-68 Sep 1998

At their weekly school meeting, all members of a Massachusetts elementary school come together to build community and to celebrate one another. Each week, 20 to 40 parents show up, often with toddlers, sometimes with grandparents. Participants pledge the flag, sing songs, recognize students' birthdays, make announcements, and enjoy student presentations and performances. (MLH)
