Edgar Martin will have a PTA 𝘢𝘯𝘥 A CAFÉ this year!✨

WHAT'S A CAFÉ — and why do our schools need one?
CAFÉ stands for Community and Family Engagement, and it’s one of the most powerful ways we can support schools in Lafayette Parish.
CAFÉ is a school-based program that brings families, educators, and community partners together to build trust, strengthen support systems, and create a culture where students feel seen, safe, and supported.

Here’s how it works:
• Guided by the school principal
• Led by volunteer Champion(s)
• Includes parents, teachers & community partners
• Meets quarterly to collaborate, support, volunteer, and donate
All to build a school environment where every child can thrive.

Why do our schools need a CAFÉ Team?
• Because students thrive when families, educators, and communities work together.
• Because strong relationships build strong schools.
• Because when everyone shows up, every child has a better chance to succeed.
• BECAUSE CONNECTION CHANGES EVERYTHING.

Whether you have time to give, ideas to share, or just want to stay in the loop — there’s a seat for you at the table.
