17. Parent Involvement All your planning will fall flat if you have not brought the parents on board.

18. Parent Involvement Parental involvement is the key to a child's success. The volunteer staff takes its responsibility to guide the Pathfinders to higher goals seriously, and therefore expects the parents to understand the importance of the program. The Pathfinder Club is not a baby-sitting organization, nor is it a playtime to be granted or denied as a reward or punishment. It is a fully integrated spiritually based educational program designed to supplement your child's regular school. It is expected that parents will support their child's consistent attendance and will attend parent function to show their support of their children's achievements.
