Parents and Agencies Aligning for Stronger Support Systems formerly -Plano Area Alliance Supporting Student Success (PAASSS)

Since 2018, PAASSS has grown because of the dedication, passion, and commitment of partners like you.

Our original name, Plano Area Alliance Supporting Student Success, represented where our work began. We are incredibly proud of those roots.

But as our partnerships expanded, so did our reach.

Through our partnership with the Grundy/Kendall Regional Office of Education #24 and the dedication of agencies across the region, PAASSS now supports families throughout both Grundy and Kendall Counties.

Through our strategic planning process, community listening sessions, and collaboration-wide vote, you helped select a name that better reflects who we are today:

Parents and Agencies Aligning for Stronger Support Systems

Our name has changed, but our mission remains stronger than ever.

Together, we will continue to:

⭐ Collaborate
⭐ Empower

Three Fires Council, Scouting America

For over 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives. The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities that allow them to:

  • Try new things
  • Provide service to others
  • Build self-confidence
  • Reinforce ethical standards

While various activities and youth groups teach basic skills and promote teamwork, Scouting goes beyond that and encourages youth to achieve a deeper appreciation for service to others in their community. Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as individuals. It is communicated to them that those in the Scouting family care about what happens to them, regardless of whether a game is won or lost. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Scouting promotes activities that lead to personal responsibility and high self-esteem. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made, peer pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made.
