March Success Stories

March was a month of growth, learning, and community impact at EdConnect! We are thrilled to share the success of two incredible events that brought families, educators, and advocates together—Ignite Clayton Community Conversation and the EdConnect Popcorn Fundraiser. These events reinforced our commitment to education, community collaboration, and family engagement.

📌 Community Engagement – Schools, parents, and organizations working together.
