Parent Peer Group - Calling for Parent Peer Group Facilitators!

SFS has a longstanding tradition of hosting Parent Peer Group Meetings to give parents an opportunity to get to know one another and discuss common non-academic, grade-specific issues in a friendly environment.  PPG meetings are led by parents for parents with an agenda determined by parents. All parents interested in facilitating Parent Peer Groups this year, or just learning more, are invited to attend a training session on October 3, 8:30-9:15 a.m. in the Rusch Room in the Athletic Center. We’ll have coffee!  Please RSVP and send any questions to Alison Schafer ([email-masked]) or Jackie Becker ([email-masked]).
