A day for America's parents, grandparents and caring adults! As a leader in advocacy for parent involvement in education, Project Appleseed has a long history of supporting and promoting National Parental Involvement Day - the oldest family engagement event in education. In 1994, we created this special day as part of American Education Week, and on the third Thursday in November of every year since then, we have worked to raise awareness about the importance of family involvement in education and the positive impact it can have on student achievement.
