Free Parenting Seminar: Reduce your Child's Stress

Thursday February 27, 2014
6:30 – 8:00pm

Fern Ave Public School Council invites parents and members of the community to attend a free parental workshop “The S.O.S. (Stressed Out Student) Solution” presented by Rob Stringer of Youth Coach Global.

During the 90 minute workshop we will learn:
· How stress affects our brains
· What the top 10 negative sources of stress for kids are
· How to help our kids to recognize stress and the sources of it in their lives
· Stress management techniques to reduce, prevent or cope with stress at home and school (including mindfulness and emotional intelligence practices)

This will be an informative and interactive workshop as we examine how to help children better understand and manage their stress, building resiliency and capacity for life.

All are welcome and free babysitting will be available.

Happy Monday Fern Falcons!  And Happy Earth Day.  We will have a running club, open to students of all ages, every Friday morning, from 8:30-9:00am, around the track.  Kindergarten students must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Children in other grades are welcome to drop in and join us, and then will be dismissed when regular yard duty begins at 9:00am.  This is a club, and not a team, there will be no tryouts, there will be no meet/competition. We will be running for ourselves and promoting movement, the joy of running, and healthy habits.  Feel free to join us. Our first running club date will be Friday, May 3rd.  Cheers,  Mrs. Heller and Madame Miya
