HIPPY STAFF APPRECIATION DINNER
MONDAY FEBRUARY 3, 6 PM AT MALLARDS RESTAURANT, BAYSHORE
The HIPPY program couldn’t run without its amazing PARENT PARTNERS!
These indispensable women visit over 300 HIPPY families weekly during the school year. They bring the families special books and projects to help parents teach their youngsters the very fundamentals of literacy, getting them ready for the big adventure into kindergarten and beyond.
One of the HIPPY parents told an NCJW volunteeer at a Family Gathering Night that HIPPY had turned her daughter into a queen, ready to take on the world!
We are going to CELEBRATE THESE INCREDIBLE WOMEN at a special dinner on Monday, February 3, at 6 pm, with dinner at Mallards Restaurant, center court, Bayshore Mall. Please come join us, and bring a guest! This is a wonderfully warm evening that makes the Parent Partners and our HIPPY volunteers feel like a million. Cost of each dinner is $42. If you can’t come that night, your support to help defray the cost of this dinner is much appreciated, too.

Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY), a program of COA Youth and Family Centers, is a parent involvement, school-readiness program that helps parents prepare their two-, three-, and four-year old children for success in school and beyond.
Peer mentors provide parents with a set of carefully developed curriculum including books and materials designed to strengthen their children’s cognitive skills, early literacy skills, and social/emotional and physical development.
Parents and children read, play, and learn together every day in their homes and at monthly HIPPY Family Gathering Nights. Learn more about HIPPY here.
HIPPY empowers parents as the primary educators of their children in the home, and fosters parent involvement in school and community life. HIPPY families are more involved in their childrens’ schools and in their communities even after they finish the program, and their children are more successful in school!
