Parent Workshop: Helping Children Cope with Anxiety
With all of the challenges we've faced this year, children may seem more anxious than ever. Aldrin Elementary School is pleased to be offering a special virtual Zoom presentation (Tuesday, May 17 at 7:00 pm) for parents on how to help children cope with anxiety. Led by our keynote speaker Rachel Bailey, this workshop will teach parents how to respond effectively to their child in the moment when they are feeling worried, shutting down, or even becoming irritable or angry. Parents will also learn strategies to foster their child's overall resilience so they're better equipped to handle obstacles now and in the future.
With a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology, Rachel Bailey has taught thousands of parents and children tools for improving behavior, motivation, resilience, and self-esteem through her podcasts, speaking engagements, and parenting programs. Following the workshop, Rachel and our team will answer questions from parents. Mark your calendars and plan on joining us for this important virtual workshop -- the Zoom link to join is below! Live Spanish translation will be available.

Volunteers Needed from ALL Grades - 2022 All Night Graduation Party
The Class of 2022 All Night Graduation (ANG) Party is coming up on June 1-2 (10:30 PM - 5:00 AM) at the high school. This party had been a tradition at Herndon High School for over 20 years prior to the pandemic - and is back for the first time since 2019!
ANG is an all night event sponsored by the PTSA to provide a fun-filled evening of games, food, entertainment and prizes in a well-chaperoned, drug and alcohol-free environment to help keep our seniors safe on graduation night.
Many volunteers are needed to make this a fun event! All grade level parents are encouraged to volunteer to support the senior families and see what the All Night Graduation Party is all about! Due to the pandemic, knowledge about the event has been diminished so it would be really helpful for the underclass parents to attend as it will facilitate your planning efforts in future years.
Please sign up below if you are able to assist with any available spots https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050c4ca9ae2e5-allnight
Thank you all so much! Your support is GREATLY appreciated!
