Creating a More Welcoming Community

Parents -- For November, we ask you to find a time to have a conversation with your sons/daughters using one or both of the following questions as departure points:

1. What is the best way to help others if they are sad or angry?

2. Describe something that someone did for you that you appreciated. How did you show your gratitude?

Swine Flu



It is almost impossible to turn on the television news, or pick up a newspaper, or listen to the radio without hearing about swine flu these days. Everyone is concerned, and appropriately so. Still, it is a little scary for kids as they hear all the dire warnings and predictions about the illness.

Here's an Swine Flu Goes Global_, written for kids, that does a pretty good job of explaining the illness and how it spreads.
If you are interested in where there are ( or where there have been ) cases of swine flu, check out this interactive map.
