Looking back at her own education, Jessica Torres didn’t remember learning how to read until the first or second grade. “And now I have a kindergartener who is reading and he’s so excited about reading,” she said. “I can’t even spell in front of him anymore.”Keeping up with son Shane’s education and learning how to contribute from home is what drew Torres to Parent University.The event, organized by Cumming Elementary, offered 10 classes for parents looking for ways to get involved in their child’s education.“We’ve made a big push this year for parental involvement,” said Katy Gunter, event organizer.
