Abstract	Community schools serve as the hubs of their communities by providing wraparound services and enrichment opportunities to students and families in need. If children lack eyeglasses, dental care, mental health counseling, school supplies, winter coats, sufficient food, or stable housing, a community school would connect students and families to organizations that provide those supports. Also someone other than a classroom teacher coordinates these supports so that teachers can focus on their students' academic, social, and emotional development. This article examines how a community school in Rome, New York prioritizes healthy youth development and family well-being. The school's extensive and customized array of services was seven years in the making--and is still being refined and enhanced. (ERIC).
