Clements/Parsons Elementary School counselor Julie Armstrong served as a military spouse for 23 years and sent her oldest son to seven different schools in his first 12 years of public education. Constantly moving, military children experience being âthe new kidâ repeatedly throughout their elementary and secondary careers.
âI can only imagine how my son would have been thrilled to be welcomed and included on his first day at each of the schools he attended,â Armstrong said. âThe main mission of the Student 2 Student Program at Clements/Parsons Elementary is to welcome all students, although it also benefits the militarily connected ones, to our campus.â
COPPERAS COVE â The Military Child Education Coalition has announced the top three finalists for the organizationâs annual Elementary Student 2 Student Team of the Year competition and Copperas Cove Independent School Districtâs Clements/Parsons Elementary School is on the list.
The S2S program brings military and civilian students together to welcome incoming classmates, create positive environments, support academic excellence and ease transitions for military-connected students around the world. Clements/Parsons Elementary School counselor Audrey Trahan said it is the students leading the program that make it effective.
âThe success of the program is mainly because of the student buy-in,â Trahan said. âThey are the ones that do most of the leg work and ensure that every new student on our campus feels welcomed and accepted.â
