The Briggs Chaney Middle School NAACP Parents' Council

  

 A Message from Mr. Troy Horsley, Outgoing BCMS NAACP Parents’ Council Representative:

 

On behalf of the NAACP Parent Council of Briggs Chaney Middle School, I wanted to thank all parents who were in attendance for our Muffins for Moms. It was truly a wonderful experience to hear about the school-wide initiatives at BCMS.  

 

A special thanks for all of the PTSA Board Members (Mrs. Tregoning, Mrs Chen and Mrs. Quinn), School Staff (Ms. Putman, Ms. Robertson and our principal, Dr. Campbell). It truly takes a village to raise a child and I know that I would not have been able to carry out the initiatives set forth by the committee without your on-going support.  

 

As you already know, this is my last year as the NAACP Chairperson and I have thoroughly enjoyed serving in the capacity of chairperson. My successor, for the 2015-2016 academic year, Kristina McConnell is a 7th grade BCMS parent and soon to be 6th grade parent.  She is very excited about taking on the role as chairperson.  To facilitate a smooth transition, please visit the link to update your information at:http://goo.gl/forms/DC22ke8Vpc. This will allow for Ms. McConnell to be plan proactively in the summer for events for the upcoming school year.

 

If you have any questions, please let me know. Enjoy your summer!

 

Best Regards,

Troy

Who Are We?

Formation of the Parents’ Council of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) came about as an outgrowth of ideas put forth during the 1995 and 1996 NAACP Youth Summits.  The Parents’ Council is one of the vehicles created to empower African American and other minority parents to take a more pro-active role in the education of their children.   The Council is made up of parents, guardians and grandparents of minority children enrolled in the Montgomery County Public School System (MCPS) and residents who may not have children in school, but who share the goal of equal education for al children, particularly minority children. 

   

What Is Our Purpose? 

The Purpose of the Parents’ Council is to provide a forum through which interested citizens may offer assistance, guidance and support to African American parents and students of Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) to pursue the highest quality education possible through encouragement, information sharing, positive motivation, critical evaluation and advocacy. 

 

How Are We Organized? 

The Parent’s Council is comprised of representatives from each school in Montgomery County. Selected by their principal, these parent representatives work together within the county’s schools for the purpose of training other parents to be advocated for their children, sharing information, and resolving problems that impact the education of their children.  Each school elects a representative to attend the monthly meetings of the Parents’ Council.  Any interest person may attend the monthly meetings. 

The Parents’ Council is made up of officers, parent representatives and the Montgomery County Maryland Branch NAACP President, Executive Vice President, Vice President of Programs, and Chair of the Education Committee.
