Fredericksburg schools boost community partnerships to help students, families

When Fredericksburg City Public Schools first put together a Family and Community Engagement Committee back in 2018, its goal was to bring more families into school buildings to volunteer and participate in their children’s education. “All that has changed because of COVID-19,” said Sandra Gillenwater, supervisor of community engagement and elementary programs for the city school division. Since last summer, the committee and its related subcommittees have been trying to meet the needs of a school community separated by the pandemic. “From the onset, [those needs] haven’t changed very much,” Gillenwater said. “At the very beginning, [the need was for] technology. Since then, it’s been food and meals and as time has gone on, we’re seeing a lot of concerns about clothing, especially cold-weather clothing.”
