Month: December 2016

Making and Keeping New Year’s Resolutions with Kids

Many people start each year by making New Year’s resolutions. As adults, we often resolve to do something on January 1, and then feel we’ve failed if we don’t follow through as the year progresses. Resolutions are a wonderful idea at any age, although, if adults have difficulty keeping them, children may find resolutions even more troublesome. How can parents introduce children to the idea of New Year’s resolutions, without pressuring them or setting them up for failure?

School Location Change for December 23

Parents, please note that on Friday, December 23, school will be held from 8:30-11:30 a.m. at First Baptist Church, 700 E. 10th Street. This will be the last day of school before Winter Break and we will have our Christmas Program and student of the month Awards Assembly during this time. Cookies will be served, along with coffee for parents. Everyone is invited and we hope to see you there!

Reviewing the Year with Your Kids

Adults often use the end of the year as a time to take stock; to see what went right and wrong during the previous 12 months. Evaluating the past can be useful for kids as well as adults. Parents and children can discuss events of the past year to determine a course for the future.
