Halfway To Our Goal!

April 5, 2023

We hope your kiddos liked the glow-in-the-dark toe tokens and Tiger Walk bookmarks that came home yesterday! The donations just keep rolling in! We are HALF-WAY to our goal!! Let’s keep the momentum going!

We wanted to share an anecdote from a parent whose child just participated in the Talent Show, organized and funded by the PTSA:

“I was a little surprised that my daughter decided to participate in the talent show with a dance because she hasn’t even seen a talent show before. She practiced with her friends and got so excited to perform. As the day got closer, she started to get nervous and I didn’t know if she’d do it or not. But super friendly volunteer moms were right there to encourage her and when the show started and I watched her perform I actually cried. It was so magical to see my daughter being brave and express herself. It will be one of my most cherished memories of elementary school. Thank you for giving her (and my family) this experience!” – Second-grade mom

This is just one event the PTSA puts efforts (and funds) into and we are thrilled to be able to do so! We are all about creating meaningful experiences for our Tiger families and community.

So thank you for your donations – keep them coming! Let’s get to that $13k by Friday!

‘Hidden In Plain Sight’ Coming in April

March 28, 2023
Register today for our upcoming Hidden in Plain Sight events, presented by Empower Youth Network. Each HIPS event will be accompanied by a Community Resource Fair.
The Hidden in Plain Sight experience helps parents/guardians spot signs of at-risk behaviors, using an interactive display of a teenager’s bedroom. After walking through the display, participants will learn more about adolescent development, risk and protective factors, and common signs of substance use provided by community prevention professionals. This exhibit is designed to educate and empower parents/guardians to communicate with their children about at-risk behaviors, expectations and more.
A strong parent/guardian-teen relationship and clear consistent communication is one of the most effective protective factors to prevent youth substance use.
Visit our events page for registration links or use the QR codes. https://empoweryouthnetwork.org/events-calendar/
