Dear Parents,
Due to email delivery failure issue, I have to sent this message one more time. If you have received this email earlier, go ahead ignor this one. Both emails has the same information. Thank you so much for your understanding and support. Looking forward to seeing you tonight.
Hi, Parents,
Thank you very much for all the food and drink you brought in last Watermark night. We have a few more young adults and new high school kids join in the group. This also means we have some new parents in the group too.
Last Saturday night after dinner, a few parents plus couple of board members had a brief and productive discussion on the activities for the Watermark parents:
(1) The young adults and kids originally planned to have dinner time together once per month. Since the young adults sacrifice every Saturday evening to lead our teenagers, and they have been expressing hopes to see parent providing more support and presence, so we thought it might be a good idea that we can have monthly potluck to include parents, teenagers, and young adults. We just request something simple and hopefully that won't become a burden to our parents. The first date is tentatively set on October 30th.
(2) We have also discussed about having monthly topic discussion for parents after the potlcuk. We all agreed that it is very important to communicate wisely and effectively with our teenagers, so we may know and help them better through their high school years. Some topics have been brought up, like "How to help our kids balance their school works and extra curriculum activities", "How to equip our kids for the college life", just to name a few. We believe a lot of experience and knowledge can be shared by the young adults, current college student parents or applicable professionals. And there must be be some questions or concerns that we parents care about or wish to find some solutions or suggestions.
We really wish to hear your opinion, and also have an idea on how many parents wish to support the Watermark and the young adults once a month, so we can plan the potlucks and the discussions accordingly. Please come to the Watermark Parent Support Group meeting TONIGHT (Septembe 25th) 7:30 PM at room #2 after you drop off your teenager at Watermark. This is a short notice, so if you cannot make it and wish to provide your suggestion, please feel free to e-mail us; every opinion is valuable. Thank you very much and hope to see you Saturday.
