PARENTING WORKSHOP — “Building Self Esteem in Our Kids” will be presented at the Milford School on Tuesday, Nov. 13, for all parents and parents-to-be. The 7 p.m. meeting, presented by Dick Roose, school counselor at Milford and Ruth Angle, school counselor at Wawasee High School, will focus on parenting skills options. Says Roose, children with a high self-esteem will more often excel in their education. The parenting seminar is hoped to make parents and those hoping to be parents, feel better about themselves and pass that feeling on to their children. Ideas for more effective parenting in the area of education will be discussed and informative handouts will be provided. Roose adds that if “Building Seif Esteem in Our Kids” is well-received, a series of four seminars, “Skills for Adolescents,” will be held later in the school year. Pictured with Mr. Roose above are eighth grade students Kara Singrey, left, and Jaime Levernier. The two will be helping post uplifting messages, like the one shown, around the school.

In addressing a welcome to the crowded auditorium, Principal Larry DeWeese invited parents to tour the entire building taking special note of the planetarium, television studio, greenhouse, swimming pool and computerized media center. “We want it to be fun (for students) to learn and we want them to want to come to school," he said. “As you tour the building tonight we hope you will see that we are promoting standards with the school,” DeWeese added. “We are setting standards of behavior and general expectations ... We are setting standards of values and emphasize that students make the right choices.” DeWeese also invited parents to “experience the technology” of the new school on Monday, Nov. 26, and Tuesday, Dec. 4, at 7 p.m., when classroom demonstrations will be provided. Included on the agenda will be a showing in the planetarium and hands-on demonstrations in the computer labs. The Mail-Journal will carry further details of the open houses as they become available.
