Safe and Caring Schools

The Safe and Caring Schools theme for March is "Conflict Resolution."

Because conflict is part of life, students need to identify conflict and learn how to deal with differences in nonviolent ways. To do this, students need to practice listening skills and develop the ability to discuss problems, negotiate and make wise choices.

Bringing Families Together!

Parents, have you had "the talk" with your child? Do you know what you are going to say? Do you need some assistance getting the conversation started or just need opportunities to continue with success? Don't worry...help is here!

Join us at St. George Church on Friday, March 28, 2014, from 6pm-9pm and Saturday, March 29, 2014, from 9am-3pm., for Real Love & Real Life. Parents, this program is designed for you and your 7th or 8th grader. It will bring you together with other parish families to learn about love, life, chastity and God's gift of sexuality. You and your child will have the chance to enhance your communication skills, true worth, guidelines for future dating and lots more.

Here, one parent shares what they liked most about the program, "It opened a door for me that wasn't open before between my daughter and me. I definitely feel more comfortable and confident discussing chastity with her."

Real Love & Real Life is a fun, unique, interactive program presented by Family Honor, Inc. The deadline for registering is (Friday March 14th). Space is limited so register early online at www.familyhonor.org. There is no charge for this program (though donations will be requested).For more information contact Bernadette Carroll 814-572-1016 or dettedette26@hotmail.com
