Somali Family Night

Somali Family Night at Tukwila School District!

Posted on 04 December 2012 by admin

Tukwila school district in collaboration with the Somali Community Services Coalition held an East African Parent night on Thursday November 29th at Showalter Middle School. The purpose of the event was to educate the parents how schools work in the US. It was a night filled with information that families were looking forward to hear especially newly arrived families. Parents did get an opportunity toward the end to ask questions.

“Our parent nights have been going on the last few years and most of our topics were decided by our families such as: education, health/fitness, tenant rights and responsibilities and etc. We are continuing our parent nights through May, as our next one will be in January and our topic is still to be determined” said Guled Ali who is one of the school officials and who facilitated the meeting since he is the only officer in the school who speaks Somali.

Ali took the opportunity to thank all the facilitators as he put it “We would like to take time to thank our families, district staff that were present, ReWA, Somali Community Services Coalition (SeaTac) and last but not least our wonderful presenters”.

Tukwila Schools host large number of Somali students and have great relationship with their parents who most do not speak good English as the young students do, and for that matter they have Guled Ali on their side to bridge the gap.
