The State Capitol Trip is fast approaching.
Please share the flyer enclosed. Let us know if you’re coming!!!
Students….By now all of you have been busy getting involved in your schools and
communities. Adjusting to this new life takes some time. Remember to spend a majority
of your evenings and weekends with your host family. They made it possible for you to
be here. Having fun with your new friends is very important, but always check with your
family before making plans. Speak with your family daily, ask questions, share your
thoughts.
Families….Dividing your time between your own daily activities, family members,
including your student can be a challenge. But a fun one! Please try to have a family
calendar available so each person can look and see what is coming up. Weekly family
meetings are helpful in some situations: to discuss plans, compliment good deeds, air
out differences and anything else that may come up. Sometimes it’s hard to find the
time to talk. It can be as easy as turning off the TV, visiting at dinner or before bed.
Spring is just around the corner…
