Night Owls for the Holmes Family
"My family first became involved with Night Owls at
Parkside when my twin daughters were in
kindergarten. This was the year Night Owl
after-school program was offered.
A letter was sent home asking families to
reply if they were interested in participating
in such a program. I immediately filled out
the form and sent it back. I knew it was
going to be a good program, and I was right.
Each day of the program (back then it was nightly),
my daughters would go to the school cafeteria for help
with their homework. Not only did they get help with their homework from teachers, but they finished their homework before they ever arrived home, so that when they arrived
home, we had time for family and extracurricular activities.
My daughters stayed in Night Owls all the way
through Parkside. Although they were good students
who received help with their school work from their
dad and I at home, having extra help from teachers
at school was unquestionably a benefit. Night Owls
also helped establish good study habits - they learned
early on that every day as soon as school was over,
they immediately did their assigned homework.
The foundations laid by Night Owls and the teachers
at Parkside Elementary School were an important part
in helping my daughters realize their maximum potential
as students. In May 2015, my twin daughters graduated
as the co-valedictorians of Lawrenceville High School.
Their dad and I couldn’t have been prouder.
Thank you to Night Owls for helping make that happen."
