ARTS & CRAFTS PROGRAMMING HIGHLIGHT
As part of Arts and Crafts, our students learn how to express themselves creatively with their hands. Throughout November, our youth will be creating books from recycled paper. As a result, our youth have been inspired to continue to use their creativity while helping the environment.

WRAPPING UP
PARENT ENGAGEMENT
Some times in our lives as a parent we are so busy with the everyday routine of getting everyone up and out of the door to where they all need to be and it does not end until they are tucked away in their room for the night. We find ourselves involved in our children’s lives when we are running them to their extracurricular activities, going to their concerts, making them meals, etc., that when we are asked how involved are we, we let out a heavy sigh and state ALL the things we attend and do. I encourage you that in this month of November, the month of gratitude, that we take the time each day to be thankful for the opportunity we have to be involved in our children’s lives. To catch a few moments of them enjoying their childhood. Let’s take the time to slow down in the midst of all of the involvement to really be INVOLVED in who they are in this stage, to be involved in the shaping of who they are growing to be with their own thoughts, ideas, and personalities. Thursday November 17th is National Parent Involvement Day, but let’s not wait until then to be involved.
