The Plano school district hosted the Empowering Parents program, out of San Diego, for an informational meeting Wednesday night at Williams High School.
“I want to educate myself about what more I can do for my kids,” Gary Hehemann said. “I want to learn how they can get an advantage in their education.”
Speakers Martha Parham and Dr. Darlene V. Willis delivered a dynamic performance to parents of Plano ISD students. Parham and Willis walked down the aisles of the auditorium speaking about their “Mean Ole Mamas.”
“When my friends could have candy for breakfast, we had to have bacon, eggs, toast, oatmeal, you name it. But when my friends could have candy and Coke for lunch, my mama said we ain’t having that,” Parham said. “We had to have bologna sandwiches or peanut butter. Dinner at my friend’s home was quite different than dinner at my house.”
