Do you find disciplining your school-age child a challenge?

Roden School Council and the East End Community Health Centre are offering a FREE parenting working on Jan. 14, titled “Disciplining, with love.”

Parents and caregivers are welcome to join us in the library at Roden Public School, 151 Hiawatha Rd, from 6:00 – 7:30 pm. There is a parent mixer (social) from 6pm to 6:30pm and then the workshops start at 6:30pm.

Refreshments and childcare will be provided.

This workshop is being run simultaneously in English (lead by Joanne) and in Urdu (lead by Farzana) in separate rooms.

Ms. Robichaud’s Grade 1/2 class had their creative juices flowing this past week. Students spent time making gingerbread houses using graham crackers, candy corn, gum drops, smarties and an assortment of other goodies. Ms. Robichaud made the icing and parent volunteers came in to help. In the end, each student took home a beautiful gingerbread house to be enjoyed by their families over the holidays!

The Roden and Equinox Student Councils are fundraising to help victims of Typhoon Haiyan.

Student Council Members will be picking up donations from classrooms until Wednesday December 18th.

They are hoping to donate to the Red Cross and capitalize on the Canadian governments’ donation matching program.

If you would like to support their fundraising efforts please send your donations in an envelope marked “Typhoon Haiyan”.

Join the Council for the last meeting of 2013, tomorrow, WEDNESDAY Dec 11 at 6pm in the Library. As always, free babysitting and pizza for the kids.

Attached are the Minutes from last month’s meeting.
