Community is at the very heart of Excel By 5. It truly does involve the entire community - from school, city and businesses leaders to parents and all citizens of Petal. There are many opportunities for community members to become involved:

• Planning for the future of Petal's youngest citizens
• Being an advocate for families and young children
• Giving of time and money to insure the resources and programs will be available to support Petal's families with young children.

If you want to be a part of Petal's future success, contact Nadine Coleman, at 601-584-4704 or nadine.coleman@petalschools.com
