Community Parent Education Program (Free Classes) POSTER ATTACHED
On behalf of Hull Services, we invite you to attend an information session about the FREE Community Parent Education Program (CPEP). This program is lead by experienced Hull Services employees and runs once a week for 8 weeks. No referral or social service involvement needed, it’s free to any interested parent, adult and/or caregiver AND their children aged 5-12. The course focuses on teaching effective parenting skills, coupled with a children’s social skills group. The children’s group will focus on social skills such as how to listen, how to accept no/disappointment, how to express their feelings and how to deal with being angry/frustrated.
The topics we discuss in the parent group are:
*Relationship Building and Positive Behaviour
*Reducing Conflict and Managing Transitions Successfully
*Special Incentives and Collaborative Planning
*Consequences for Serious Problems
*Problem Solving Strategies
Children's Village School, in the NE community of Renfrew, will be hosting the upcoming course this spring. The start date of the course is Wednesday, April 17th, 2024 at 6:00pm. Please find the program schedule (poster) attached with important information about location, dates, times and how to register. The email to register is HullCPEP@hullservices.ca

Earth Day Clean Up at Mayland Heights
Get ready to roll up your sleeves and dive into a day of green greatness at Mayland Heights! On April 25th, we're unleashing our inner eco-warriors for a School Grounds Clean Up extravaganza. 🌱🌍
Picture this: teachers leading the charge as we venture outdoors to give our school grounds some serious TLC. Armed with gloves and bags, each student becomes a superhero of cleanliness, swooping in to save the day one piece of litter at a time.
But it's not just about tidying up - oh no! This is a crash course in environmental awesomeness. We'll be learning the ABCs of reducing, reusing, and recycling, because every little action adds up to a big impact. Plus, we'll discover how keeping our environment squeaky clean is vital for air, water, soil, and all our furry and feathery friends out there.
Together, let's show the world how Mayland Heights rocks the clean-up scene and champions a greener, brighter future for all! 🌟♻️
