(November 10, 2009) -- Four Minnesota schools were

partners in education realize that families play an important role in student
success,” said Heather Kilgore, director of Minnesota Parent Center, MN PIRC.
“We applaud these schools, along with the parents of their students, for
demonstrating what strong school-family partnerships can achieve.”
The winning schools were: Woodland Elementary School, Brooklyn Park;
