Mrs. Pratt’s advisory class met with Mrs. Adams’ 4th graders at Pine Ave playground today for our first meeting. We played a cone game, practiced spelling words, and played together with our new Panther Pals on the playground.

Session #1 of "Parenting the Love and Logic Way" was very informative, as we discussed strategies to use at home when our children argue or persistently plead for things. We will be hosting 3 more sessions throughout the year, to continue building strategies to use at home. These workshops are open to all K-5 parents, 5:30-7:00pm, at Luce Road ECLC. Please RSVP to the Luce Road Office at 989-463-1012. Flyer- https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1Ho-AVLlXlozEkd7jarChq5OatayIjTfO2C036y0aOTw/edit?usp=sharing

PTO meets TONIGHT at 6:30pm! Join us at Hillcrest for our monthly meeting. Free childcare is provided. We welcome all families to attend!
