TONIGHT!!! Authors of The Self Driven Child speak at McLean High School at 7PM
Join us as we feature William Stixrud, Ph.D. and Ned Johnson, the authors of The Self Driven Child: The Science and Sense of Giving Your Kids More Control Over Their Lives, as they empower parents with practical tools to help their children reduce stress and anxiety, while building capacity for resilience, success, and optimal development. The authors work with students in the Washington, DC metro area and offer keen insights into the stress and anxiety that children of high-achieving schools are experiencing. The strategies shared are relevant for parents of children of ALL ages. It will be an evening you don’t want to miss!
Inclusion Week - Walk In My Shoes
The PTA along with our teachers and counselors have been preparing for your kids a special week where we dialogue with your kids about how to embrace kindness when differences are observed and how our school community is a better place when inclusion is embraced. Encourage your child to check out some of the book suggestions displayed in front of the library. Ask them about the “I Feel Included” worksheets that they and their classmates have taken the time to create and make sure they don’t miss the celebrity wall!
3rd Grade: Monday, March 25th
4th Grade: March 27th
5th Grade: March 26th
6th Grade: March 28th
Our 3rd-6th graders will participate in our first ever Walk In My Shoes assembly! They will participate in 6 hands-on activities that will help them experience the perspective of classmates that may experience fine motor, attention, sensory, social or visual challenges. It helps kids who don’t struggle to respect the kids that do. It is also extremely validating to go through this program when you have one of these struggles. You realize how amazing you are.
Please support Inclusion Week at home by dialoguing with your kids about what they will learn and PLEASE SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER NEXT WEEK!! It is such a rewarding program that reaps so many benefits for everyone that participates. Your time will not be wasted! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e044eabab2cab9-chesterbrook
