Small but Mighty!

Talk about David and Goliath! The parents who send their children to Saylor Park Elementary are not leaving the future of their school in anyone else's hands but their own.
Saylor Park Elementary is one of the schools that will get a brand new look according to the Cincinnati Public Schools Master Facilities Plan. But of course investing in a new building means the community must invest in the "school."

With competition from private, charter and parochial schools, parents of Saylor Park Elementary students are fearful that neighborhood parents will take for granted the long standing tradition SP Elementary has in the community, go somewhere else and ultimately the enrollment will decline. So to keep the numbers up, they aren't waiting for a slick marketing campaign to unfold, or personal pleas from CPS administration and Board to the community. They are doing things the Saylor Park way, taking matters into their own hands and becoming a walking, breathing, living testimony on how great their school is. By going door to door in their neighborhood and simply asking parents, "have you enrolled your child in Saylor Park this year?" And if not, "have you considered it?" "Here are the reasons why I think you should."

That takes a certain grit, a strong conviction and an unparalleled passion to become that kind of advocate for your child's school.
What would you do to protect your child's school? What lengths would you go to, to make sure the values and education that your child receives continues? What do you think about the community resolve in Saylor Park? Did you attend Saylor Park Elementary?

Let's talk about it.
