Mill Street Elementary School
Naperville, Illinois
BP Amoco isn’t just a company that provides fuel for cars. It also is a company that helps put schools on the road to meet the goals in their School Improvement Plans! Take Mill Street Elementary School, for example.

Lindbergh Middle School
Long Beach, California
Lindbergh Middle School’s teachers and administrators knew that better-educated parents would likely translate into better-educated students. The Long Beach school also wanted parents to get more involved in their children’s education. Rather than overloading them, however, with information about every subject, school leaders decided to start small and simple. To that end, the school developed the Math Seminar Parent Presentation.
