Today Is National Reading Day!
 ARCH loves a good parenting book. Heck just reading the title of a parenting book can be therapeutic... "Get Out of My Life, but First Could You Drive Me & Cheryl to the Mall: A Parent's Guide to the New Teenager"
In celebration of National Read Day -- ARCH is offering a link to our Recommended Reading Lists. These lists include some of our favorite PARENTING books!
Recommended Reading list, Cell Phone & Driving Contract templates are all found under the "Parent Information TAB" on the ARCH WEBSITE.
The next ARCH monthly meeting is being held on Wednesday, January 25, 2012. We meet from 9-10:15 am at the T/E Administrative Offices in Wayne. All are welcome. Read on!
