Black Parents In Naperville Aim to Build Community, Close Achievement Gap
Update: 2019-08-26
Description
It looked like your typical back-to-school cookout.
At a local park in west suburban Naperville over the weekend, barbecue was piled on paper plates and kids ran around playing tag.
But there was more going than appeared on the surface.
The cookout was hosted by volunteer parent group called S.U.C.C.E.S.S, School Using Coordinated Community Efforts to Strengthen Students. The group’s mission is to build community for parents and students of color in school district 203, where black students make up just 5% of the student population and Hispanic students make up about 10%.
