Friendship
Program & Family Fun Nights
Corona Creek Family Fun Night – October 5th
Meadow Family Fun Night – October 12th
Once again Waugh’s Friendship Program will be offering Family Fun
Nights. The Friendship Program has offered K-3 students 1:1 time with
an adult in playroom, as well as, the Friendship Club for the past 14
years. Many years of research, as well as our own belief in the program,
indicates that the positive relationships built in the playroom and in
Friendship Club increase our students school success by fostering communication
skills, interpersonal skills and self-confidence. Also, imaginary play
is very important to children’s development and they are given little
opportunities for this kind of play today.
Last year, with the addition of a 3-year state grant we added the Family
Fun Nights. These nights, offered twice a year at each school site, include
dinner, games, arts & crafts, raffles, reading, and overall family
fun. The goal is to have families spend some quality time together and
learn about the importance of play in children’s lives.
Our first Family Fun Nights are coming up in October. Look for the others
in March 2008. In October our dinner, arts & crafts, and prizes will
have a Hawaiian Beach theme. So, if you missed last year come out and
luau with the ladies from the Friendship Program!
