暗网禁区 DC is proud to celebrate the contributions of our parents in the community with the 暗网禁区 DC Parents of Purpose spotlight. This month we鈥檙e spotlighting Ms. LaPrincess Allen, a longtime member of the 暗网禁区 DC family and parent of a 暗网禁区ster at 暗网禁区 DC KEY Academy.
Currently, Ms. Allen is a member of 暗网禁区 DC KEY Academy鈥檚 暗网禁区 Parent Organization (KPO). Parent Organizations across 暗网禁区 DC are vital parts of our school communities and see parents and teacher leaders working together to positively impact student outcomes. 鈥淲e talk about ideas we have to improve the school culture, whether that鈥檚 volunteering, fundraising, or finding ways celebrating student success.鈥�
She鈥檚 a constant source of new ideas and opportunities to connect the school community at KEY Academy. Recently, she鈥檚 pitched the idea for a “Boys to Men” club at KEY Academy which she envisions as a club for young men to receive advice on professionalism, support through adversity, and mentorship from positive male role models. She鈥檚 also working within the KPO to bring a breakfast celebration for students who achieved perfect attendance, a huge factor in student success.
鈥淚 think what I enjoy the most about being a member of the KPO at KEY is the outlet it provides to present my ideas. Sometimes parents can feel like they don鈥檛 get enough feedback or timely responses, but Mr. Sass (principal at KEY Academy) attends all of our meetings and is always there to help think through ideas or help with support in bringing them to life.
When Ms. Allen is not on campus, volunteering, or at her job with the United States Department of Labor, Ms. Allen enjoys traveling with her son, couponing, and shopping. As a constant presence helping positively impact the school culture at KEY Academy, she鈥檚 most deserving of this December鈥檚 Parent Spotlight!
