Belong Partners

When schools build meaningful partnerships with parents and guardians, and when families build connections with one another, the impact is felt throughout the entire school community.

That's exactly what's happening at Silver Lake Elementary in Federal Way, WA.

"It was such a wonderful night. I can't wait to do more of this work!"
— Courtney Thomas, Principal

Over the past two years, BELONG Partners has partnered with Silverlake Elementary to offer our parenting programs, Legacies of Love and Parenting with Courage and Connection.

What happened next was inspiring.

After completing the 6-week series, three dedicated parents stepped forward to lead a workshop for other families, sharing key concepts they learned—including Brain in the Hand, regulation strategies, and practical ways to support young people's social-emotional growth at home.

This kind of family leadership helps create consistency between home and school, strengthens relationships, and builds a greater sense of belonging for everyone.

If you're looking to strengthen partnerships between your school and families while creating more consistent support for young people, we'd love to bring our parenting series to your community.

A heartfelt thank you to the for making this work possible over the past two years, and to Courtney Thomas and Ana Morales at Silver Lake Elementary FWPS for helping bring parents and guardians together in such a meaningful way. This has been a true collaborative process.
