Forms, with parent’s signatures next to each time they read, are due each Monday (new forms given on Monday). Read 180 books need to be taken home and brought back each day, but forms can be kept at home until Monday.

The Strengthening Families program begins Tuesday, January 27. This program is designed for parents and youth ages 10 and up. Parent discussions and fun family activities are planned over seven weekly sessions.

Parents discuss making house rules, following through with consequences and identifying stresses in youth.

Youth will learn to handle frustration, resist peer pressure and visualize their dreams and goals for the future. Sessions will be held at Seward Elementary. A light dinner and childcare are provided at no cost. There is no charge for the sessions, but registration is required as space is limited.
