Announcing Parent-to-Parent Program

After concluding the well-received Roots and Wings program in January for fourth-grade parents, the Wellness Committee is at work on similar offerings for next year. The group is currently planning Parent-To-Parent, a networking program for Middle School parents.

Parent-To-Parent will address the toxic influences on youth culture, including media messages that portray violence as entertainment, sex as sport, and drunkenness as cool. The program aims to network parents to form a safe barrier between our children and the toxic elements in their world.

Unlike many programs that require professionals to implement, Parent-To-Parent is facilitated by parents themselves. The Wellness Committee is seeking volunteers to be trained this spring as facilitators. If you are interested, please contact Amy Pollokoff at 410-363-1305.
