Occupy Schools™ Pledge

I, _____________________________, commit to making a difference in the academic outcomes of all children by first dedicating my efforts to the academic success of my own child. I, therefore pledge to:

• Practice healthy living habits by ensuring that my child has nutritious meals, adequate rest and exercise.
• Restrict the amount of time my child spends watching television and using electronic devices for non-educational purposes.
• Create an environment in my home that promotes the learning and understanding of all subjects, especially American history.
• Maintain regular, positive communication with my child’s teachers.
• Volunteer at my child’s school and participate in school functions.
• Ensure that my child has necessary school supplies and organizational tools.
• Monitor homework daily and assist when needed.
• Provide stability in my home with routines and practices that support the healthy academic, physical, social, psychological and emotional development of my children.
• Encourage and uplift my child’s spirit by celebrating his or her strengths and providing support in areas of challenge.

I will do these things and will support the efforts of Mocha Moms, Inc. to educate all parents to do the same.
