Family Learning Series
Falcon Parent University

The Burlington Township Family Learning Series has been in existence for over 20 years.  The program started out with Family Math night and has grown to multiple programs covering several curricular areas.  The program has also added the Parent University component to educate parents about various topics. This year our goal is to expand offerings to parents and to provide you with quality speakers who will be a valuable parent resource.

The August session was well attended and parents were very vocal in saying they wanted more.  Well, we heard you and we are bringing John Kriger back to give you the rest of the presentation on November 1.  Please spread the word and save the date.  More details and registration will be provided at a later date.  
We are also partnering with the NJ Department of Education to bring you a special program about school safety that you will not want to miss.  Please mark your calendars for October 18th, for a special presentation.
