Neighborhood School Partnership projects encourage partnerships between neighborhoods and the schools within them. Studies show that neighborhoods and schools are interdependent – the quality of one affects the quality of the other. The goal of these projects is to build a sense of community and shared vision between schools and neighborhoods. 

 
Project examples include: 

• School – community gardens
• Honor Roll recognition programs
• Service projects on school grounds or in the community
• Book drives
• Teacher appreciation events
• Community festivals
• Belt and uniform drives
• Tutoring and mentoring programs
• Family nights
