An Update from Seaside!

In February, we had a pizza party followed by exchanging valentines and cookie decorating. This was Sarah's idea after the kids (most of whom are now in 7th grade) expressed that they were disappointed that they don't really celebrate valentines day at their age after being deemed too old for valentines exchanges at school after 5th grade. I think the party was a big hit and we had a nice turn out.

Al-Anon is an organization that offers experience, strength and hope to families who are

struggling with alcoholism and addiction. It is a very safe place to share the challenges of

difficult family situations. We at Al-Anon are very grateful to the First Church of Swampscott which has offered us space to hold our meetings, as below:

Tuesday nights at 7:30

Tuesday mornings at 10:00 a.m. in the library

Thursdays at noon in the library

Please join us! For more information, please email Jodie or Laurie. Thanks.

Here is a link where you can sign up to help out with Nursery Care. Parents...we would love for you to sign up, too. So simple and super fun because you get to play! Siobhan will reach out to you for a CORI (if you haven't already done this). Thanks for helping us to support our families!
