Next Wednesday we’re holding a Parent Workshop at the
school. We try to host these workshops
several times throughout the school year to engage not only our Partnership
with Children parents, but the entire school parent community as well. Earlier
this week every student in the school went home with a flyer in their bag
notifying parents of the workshop.
We’ve decided to focus on health and wellness for our Parent
Workshop. The breakfast event will give
parents the tools they need to keep themselves and families healthy. Topics will include information about local
food pantries, free or low cost fitness options and local health clinics. We will also be partnering with Project
Renewal later this spring which will offer parents free mammograms, pap smears
colonoscopies, blood pressure, and other health related services and make sure
parents are well aware of the date and details.
The Parent Workshops are a great way to further incorporate
Partnership with Children into the school.
Sometimes a parent (or staff member) might feel hesitant about letting
an “outsider” in. By creating events and
activities for not only our students but the entire school, we become an
integrated part of the school and the community.
