National African American Parent Involvement Day (NAAPID)* is a nationwide event that was launched by an AAPS educator, Mr. Joe Dulin in 1995.
Dulin was inspired after he participated in the Million Man March, and envisioned a day created to encourage parents to begin practicing the goals of NAAPID, which include:
Historically, families were invited into the building and attended classes with their students during NAAPID, but this year's event will be fully virtual due to pandemic restrictions. Tappan will observe this day by offering families four powerful sessions that focus on ways to continue to support their students during the pandemic. The main event will be keynote speaker, Patrice Lee, who is a mom, author {Leep4Joy Books}, speaker, publisher, entrepreneur, webinar host, and workshop facilitator, with a joy for life. Lee overcame many years in a hostile work environment, and simultaneously, while raising a young family, served as caregiver and guardian for ailing loved ones, and pursued a postgraduate degree. It was through love and forgiveness, that she was able to change the course of her work life. Her love of people and passion for life is what motivates her to write, and gives her an opportunity to help others overcome their obstacles too. Patrice Lee shares a positive message in each book to help parents, children, and teens "live on the happy side of life." See a list of Ms. Lee’s books here. Instructions on ordering books can be found here. Mr. Kyle Kipp, Tappan's Library Media Specialist will review some online tools and resources that families can benefit from as we endure the pandemic. Online Technology Resources discussed will include:
