Connected Editorial:
From Gaye
Morris Smith, Executive Director
Family Connection Partnership, Inc.
Welcome to
Connected. This issue features 2003 year-end highlights of the
work of several Family Connection county collaboratives and Family Connection
Partnership to improve results for children and families in communities
across Georgia. We'll include more county collaborative successes in upcoming
issues.
On Feb. 24,
Governor "Sonny" Perdue proclaimed the day as "Family Connection
Day" in Georgia—a day to recognize the recent successes of county
collaboratives. Nearly 400 people from across the state converged in Atlanta
to celebrate the event. State legislators, community and business leaders,
and representatives from education and health and human services reaffirmed
the need to continue to engage in local, regional and statewide partnerships
to promote student achievement in Georgia. This issue features an article
on the event.
Meanwhile,
we recently released Georgia 2004 KIDS COUNT, an annual statewide
report that tracks the status of children and families across five areas:
healthy children, school readiness, school success, strong families, and
self-sufficient families. Inside you'll find an article featuring the
key messages from the new Georgia KIDS COUNT data. Visit http://www.gafcp.org/kidscount
to view the complete report and a variety of local, regional and state
data.
