On Monday, February 10th at 3:30pm in the CRE library Site Council will welcome Chris Burton, Director of Labor Relations for Issaquah School District, who will speak about how the district educates staff, students and the parent community on bullying.

On January 23, 2014, 7:00 pm, another evening with Chap Clark ( http://www.chapclark.com/), a well-known practitioner, adolescent and family scholar and author, will be hosted by Inglewood MS PTA and Sammamish Presbyterian in Eastlake’s Performing Arts Center ( http://lakewashington.tandemcal.com/index.php?type=view&action=event&id=40787). Mr. Clark wrote Hurt 2.0: Inside the World of Today’s Teenagers and presented to a large audience last spring at the Boys and Girls Club. Neither of these evenings requires a ticket, although both have a first-come first-serve seating arrangement. We are fortunate to have these contemporaries coming to speak with our community as part of a focus we have on pursuing a balanced and valuable life filled with hope and resiliency. We hope that you will join us for this event!

Is your teen making healthy lifestyle choices? Is your teen stressed or suffering from depression, obesity, an eating disorder, injuries, poor grades, or just plain moody?

Join our panel of presenters as they provide a roadmap to raising a fit and happy teen! You will discover some new tips for your “parent toolbox”. Learn the most important factors to support your teen’s health through nutrition and exercise. And hear firsthand how the pressures can lead to eating disorders.
