Inglewood Area Ministers Association to Host Education Sunday

September 10, 2004 -- The idea is to not only recognize individuals for their contributions and their dedication to education, but also to raise awareness about the importance of education in all of our lives.

“It is our hope that Education Sunday will unite the Inglewood community in prayer so that children can begin the school year ready to learn and teachers more prepared to teach both academic standards and character education and values to students,� wrote Pastor Austin F. Williams, President of the Inglewood Area Ministers Association, in a letter to association members.

The idea builds upon and strengthens a partnership between area churches and local schools, initiated last year when Superintendent Dr. Pamela Short-Powell invited church leaders to discuss academics, school construction, and future directions in the Inglewood Unified School District (IUSD).

“It takes a village to raise a child,� goes the old adage, and the Inglewood Area Ministers Association is well aware of their role in the lives of children.
