As a relatively new parent to the PALS community, I have been thoroughly impressed with how much support there is in PALS, from the teachers, the parents and even the students.  My son, Kai, came to PALS at the beginning of third grade and we instantly fell in love with the program and Claudia.  Without knowing what I was getting myself in to, I signed up to work MAGIC our first year here.  That proved to be one of the best things I could have done as it introduced me to every child in PALS and a large number of parents.
