Children of Paradise...Successful Parenting for Prosperous Families

 

Successful parents want to give their children the best of everything yet they are often sadly disappointed with the results as they witness young adults who are poorly motivated, irresponsible, financially demanding and troubled.  Parents are perplexed about how to deal with their success in order to be able to provide the right environment, opportunities and "coaching" so that their children will develop into emotionally healthy, competent, responsible adults.  Unfortunately children don't come with detailed instruction manuals and so it is necessary for each family to develop their unique strategic plan to achieve their desired results.

Children of Paradise provides the audience with specific action plans  for dealing with these critical parenting challenges:

 

         Building Strong Self Esteem

         Establishing realistic expectations

         Creating competency and confidence

         Effective communication

         Managing parenting time and energy effectively

         Bratproofing

         Financial parenting

         Responsible wealth transfer strategies

Teacher Luncheon 


Dear Parents:

We will be hosting an Appreciation Luncheon on Friday, December 14th, right after early dismissal and ask for your help in providing an array of delicious foods to share.  If you have a favorite dish everyone loves, something always requested at parties, so delicious your family always begs you for the recipe, that's what you should send to the Teacher Appreciation Luncheon.

 

THE THEME THIS YEAR IS WINTER WONDERLAND.

 

In order to better organize the luncheon, we'd like the following grades to be responsible for the following menu choices (UNLESS you have a specialty dish):

Kindergarten families: Desserts

1st Grade: Appetizers/Drinks (water bottles/cranberry juice/ice)

2nd Grade: Salads

3rd Grade: Side Dishes

4th Grade: Entrees

5th Grade: Entrees/side dishes

*Monetary donations are also welcome to cover the cost of decorations, plates, flowers etc. There will be a box located in the main office.

 

Bring your dish NO LATER than 10:00 a.m. that Friday morning. We'll be at the flagpole at drop-off with a big tray to wheel your dish in or you can bring it directly to the library.

 

We will have a variety of platters, bowls, serving pieces already at school. We will bring them all out on Monday, December 10th during drop-off. Feel free to take your pick, depending on what you're bringing, and take it home to return on Friday for the luncheon.

 

The teachers LOVE to know who made what. Could you please write your name on a card so we can place it next to your contribution? They want to be able to thank you later. And, don't forget to put your name on any serving pieces you bring, like salad tongs.

 

We greatly appreciate your willingness to help us show our great appreciation to our beloved teachers.

 

Please let us know what you plan to send for the Teacher's Appreciation Luncheon on Dec. 14th. Any questions, just ask!

A message about lunches being dropped off 


Please make sure that your child's lunch goes with your child in the back pack every morning.  Please limit dropping off your child's lunch in the Main Office during school hours.  The office is being swamped with too many forgotten lunches and we ask that you no longer drop off your child's lunch to the office and just make sure it goes with them in the morning.  Your attention to this is greatly appreciated.

The Main Office needs clothing donations!
 

The Main Office is in need of boys and girls clothing donations.  They need small children's sizes in shorts, pants and tee shirts.

Thank you!

Click here for a list of planned community service events for the school year.
Warner students who complete 10 hours of service by the end of the school year will earn a "Kids Who Care" certificate.  The Warner student who earns the most hours will receive a special prize at the end of the year.  And the Warner class that earns the most hours will be treated to a pizza party!

 Click here for the form for tracking your child's hours.  Forms should be submitted by the end of the school year.

Look for Warner sponsored events each month.
