Astoria Middle School Supports Families

Parents of middle school students listen up! Do you feel like all your efforts in raising your children have changed since they became pre-teens and teens? Is it getting harder to compete with pop culture, peer pressure and puberty? The early adolescent years can be difficult for families to navigate. Fortunately there is help! Astoria Middle School will offer the Strengthening Families Program for parents/caregivers and youth 10-14. The program begins Thursday, January 24th. A free dinner will be served at 5:30, with program activities for parents and youth taking place from 6-8 pm. Childcare for younger children will be provided.

Join us for learning, games, fun, videos, sharing, food and family projects. Strengthening Families is designed to help parents build on their strengths in showing love and setting limits, help youth develop skills in handling peer pressure and building a positive future and help families grow together. Parents report that Strengthening Families is ??Outstanding? and ??It was fun and moved along quickly?.

The Strengthening Families Program is a partnership of Astoria Middle School and LifeWorks NW and is funded by the Clatsop County Commission on Children and Families. To register call Astoria Middle School, 325-4331.
