Old Rochester educators recognize parents as 2020 Friends of Education

May 27, 2020

To the Editor:

Each year, the Old Rochester Professional Educators’ Association recognizes members of the community who positively contribute to the education and lives of our students. 
 
In this most unusual and unprecedented time in history, educators are faced with circumstances that most could never have imagined as we attempt to reach and teach students remotely. As challenging as this process has been, we could not be as effective without the support and assistance of the parents and caretakers of our students.  It is they who have shouldered the awesome responsibility of helping to educate their children in collaboration with the schools.   
 
This year, the ORPEA would like to recognize all of our schools’ parents and caregivers as being a crucial part of the educational process.  It is only through this partnership with you that we have been able to continue to provide a rich and meaningful education to the students of Old Rochester. You truly are our Friends of Education.
