Extractions: Burning Tree Elementary School in Bethesda, Md., has a powerhouse PTA with volunteers to handle any request, but many schools in the area are not so lucky. Fourteen miles away at Broad Acres Elementary School in Silver Spring, PTA President Jose Otero is working to boost parental involvement at a school where many parents do not speak English. The two schools banded together in a PTA partnership three years ago. Last school year the parent groups planned science days and career days together and then carried the events out at each school. While most parent groups constantly struggle to engage parents in school activities, meetings, and fundraisers, a few like Burning Trees have taken volunteerism beyond their own walls and into other community schools. In Memphis, Tenn., parents at Dogwood Elementary School organized a major tutoring initiative for students at Raineshaven Elementary. For four months, parents commuted from Dogwood to Raineshaven to help children improve their reading skills. In both cases, parents from affluent neighborhoods volunteered their efforts in less-prosperous parts of town, but the schools in Maryland and Tennessee took very different approaches to establishing cross-school partnerships. In Bethesda, the schools formed a PTA-to-PTA partnership, with the well-established Burning Tree PTA mentoring the greener Broad Acres PTA. Memphis Raineshaven Elementary did not have an active parent group, so Dogwood PTA members forged their alliance with school administrators and teachers.

Extractions: Summer 95 Inside this Issue School-Based Health Care Assembly Breaks New Ground M ore than 500 people from around the country gathered June 23-25 to establish a national movement to support improved health services for children through school-based health care. The conferenceappropriately titled Breaking New Ground! brought together school-based health care providers, researchers, and advocates for three days of activities in Washington, DC. "This is clearly a historic occasion," said Joy Dryfoos, a long-time leader of school-based health care. "For the first time, the entire school-based health care movement is building a strong organization with the capacity for advocacy, networking, and sharing resources." If the crowd's size and enthusiasm were any indication, the effort promises to be a major success. Conference organizers expected a turnout of 350 people, but they significantly underestimated the desire for this meeting. More than 500 attendees from 42 states and the District of Columbia flocked to Washington for the occasion. Half of the participants were people who work on the front lines of school-based health care250 health center staff and community organizers. The other half reflected interest from all quarters, including educators; health care institutions; private funders; community organizations; and local, state, and federal governments.
