This Thursday … Parent Talk: Setting Boundaries

Have you been struggling with…

• your child’s newfound independence?
• different houses, different rules?
• managing use of electronics?
• downtime and balance for your family?

Join fellow parents for parent to parent flyer. Karen Hemenway, Pickering Valley Guidance Counselor; Carmen Glenn, Safe Homes Coordinator; and Cynthia Black, Communities That Care volunteer, will facilitate the discussion.

Topic: Setting Boundaries
Date/Time: Thursday, March 17 at 7:00 pm
Location: Pickering Valley Elementary School

Parenting isn’t easy . . . we need each other’s support. This event will combine small group conversations and large group discussion to create an informal way for parents to gather information and exchange ideas.

Coffee and dessert will be served!

Peace. Love. Books. You’ll be feelin’ groovy at the Book Fair

Shamona Creek’s Scholastic Book Fair is an event that brings the books kids want to read right into the school. Please plan to visit the Feelin’ Groovy Book Fair in the Library to join in the reading excitement!

You can visit the Book Fair to make your selections from Monday, March 14 through Friday, March 18.  The hours are:

• Monday: 9:00 AM  – 5:30 PM
• Tuesday and Thursday: 8:30 AM – 8:00 PM
• Wednesday and Friday: 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM

For the family events on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, Mrs. Carroll and her helpers will host fun photo opportunities. Be ready to use your phone to take pictures of kids and families! You might also wish to download the FREE Book Fair app in advance. It can help you find the right books for your child. For more information, visit: scholastic.com/apps/bookfairs. 

If you are unable to attend in person, we invite you to visit our online Book Fair at scholastic.com/fair. The online Fair will be available through March 22. All orders are shipped free to Shamona Creek and delivered in a labeled bag to your child’s classroom to bring home.

As students browse or preview at the Book Fair, they have the option to complete a “wish list” to bring home. This is a way for them to convey information about titles and costs for your final consideration. Students are reminded that purchasing at the Book Fair is optional and at their parent’s discretion.

Helping hands are needed. Mrs. Carroll needs parent volunteers to help the students fill out their wish lists, locate the books of interest, and check out. If you are able to help, please email pcarroll@dasd.org.  

We look forward to seeing you and your family at our Book Fair! Remember, all purchases benefit our school.
