    home, school, community, and place of worship.
  • To raise the standards of home life.
  • To secure adequate laws for the care and protection of
    children and youth.
  • To bring into closer relation the home and the school,
    that parents and teachers may cooperate intelligently in
    the education of children and youth.
  • To develop between educators and the general public
    such united efforts as will secure for all children and
    youth the highest advantages in physical, mental, social,
    and spiritual education.

    discuss ways to promote quality education, strive to
    expand the arts, encourage community involvement, and
    work for a healthy environment and safe neighborhoods.
