5th, 6th, 7th grade Parents, 

Join us on March 8 at 6pm for dinner and discussion. Southeast Pysch’s Jonathan Hetterly (MA, LPC) and First Presbyterian’s Robert Galloway. Our topic for the evening will revolve around the social, emotional and physical development of today’s middle school youth. There will be a time for Q&A with both speakers.

Also, this is a great time for current 5th-graders (Rising 6th) -- and anyone new to Middle School PYC -- to get a preview of what they can expect for the Fall.

Will Appleby Award 2020
We're accepting nominations for the Will Appleby Award!
Will was an outstanding member of the youth group of First Presbyterian Church before tragically passing away in an automobile accident in 2001. He made youth group a priority and was an innovative force and loyal friend within the youth community. Will understood the goals and mission of the youth group and encouraged and inspired his fellow youth as well as many adults. In his honor, Will's family generously established this award to recognize other youth who share Will's love and dedication to the community of faith. 

Any high school youth at First Presbyterian is eligible for nomination--with preference given to seniors. Please click here to access the application. Nominations are due by March 2.
