FREE CHILDCARE with DINNER

**CHILDREN MUST BE POTTY TRAINED
To sign up, go to:
RSVP by Monday, February 11th
Every child has the right to learn in a safe environment. Soul Shoppe’s mission is to create big-hearted bully-free schools where every child is "free to be" themselves, where kids show empathy and get along. To reach this goal, Soul Shoppe delivers a year-round program to Montair students and teachers that make learning and even problem-solving fun!
For our parent evening, a Soul Shoppe facilitator will share what you can do to handle bullying and teasing when they happen to (or from) your children, and how you can use the program tools at home! We will share what we teach the children at our school and some very effective secret parent tips to ensure that your home and school are places where children actively contribute to a positive environment, and can independently resolve conflicts.
The Parent Night will focus on some of the following:
- Why kids take feelings out on each other, and how to help them stop themselves and each other.
- How to solve conflicts at home respectfully and effectively.
- Simple things you can do each day to help your children behave better and feel more connected to you.
- How to reinforce positive lessons your child is learning in Soul Shoppe at home.
- Basics for having more powerful relationships with your spouse/partner, children, boss, peers, friends... Everyone!

increased requests for parent and staff education on the topics of e-cigarettes/vape pens and marijuana/cannabis.
