Project Cornerstone
Educating students involves more than providing academic learning opportunities. At Garden Gate, we also implement Project Cornerstone program in the classrooms aimed to instill developmental assets to children. Developmental assets are building blocks that kids need to grow to become happy, responsible, and successful adults. We strive to build Garden Gate a caring community that kids can thrive in.
Parents take an active role with the school in helping children develop the "assets" they will need to
be successful. PC volunteers are called ABC Parents-Assets Building Champion. Once a month, the
ABC parents will go into the class, read an asset building story book, conduct discussion, and do
reinforcing activities. They teach kids socials skills for problem solving, peaceful conflict resolution,
develop positive and caring friendship. Self esteem, personal power, as well as responsible, goal
oriented attitude are also stressed.
.
Training and support for parent volunteers is provided. It is required for the parent volunteers to commit to the whole school year. We have a total of 9 books, once a month. They are required to
attend meeting once a month to discuss the current lesson, either at the United Way, or at Garden
Gate GLC with the ABC lead volunteer. The meeting dates can be found by clicking on
