Understanding Children’s Friendships and Conflicts:
What Every Parent Needs to Know
Presented by Catherine Mallam, Chatham Park School Counselor
Tuesday, April 30th at 7:30 P.M. Chatham Park Auditorium
Your daughter comes home distraught because her best friend left her out at recess. Your son is in a fight with a boy in his class whom he refers to as his “enemy.” And nearly every day there is a new media account about bullying in schools.
Parents are left wondering: What is normal conflict between children? What is bullying? When should I intervene; when should I step back? How can I support my child’s social development?
Join us on April 30th to find out.
Looking for a few good parents…
Do you want to have a bigger say in the activities that go on at our school? Do you want to help make those events a success? Do you want Chatham Park to be a place that your kids love? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, please consider volunteering for a HASA leadership position for the 2013 – 2014 school year. At this point we are looking for volunteers in the following areas:
- Vice President(s) – one or two people to shadow the Presidents next year and then serve as President for the 2014-2015 school year
- Treasurer – someone who is organized and financially savvy to fill the Treasurer position next year. Ideally we would like someone to commit to two year for this position. Our current Treasurer will be available to provide any training and support that would be needed. This is a very important and rewarding position.
- Cultural Assemblies Co-Chair – work with an experienced committee member over the summer to line up the assemblies for next year.
- Artist in Residence Committee Chair – work with the fifth grade classes to design and implement a lasting art project for the fifth graders to leave as their legacy at the school. You can use your artistic talent to lead the art project directly or organize the participation of a local artist. Past projects include the mural in the cafeteria and the mosaic benches by the front and side doors. This is a great tradition at our school.
If you have any questions about these positions or would like to take a leadership role in another area of HASA, please contact Peggy Hermann or Gina Szathmary, HASA Co-Presidents for 2013-2014.
