MVLA Parent Education Speaker Series Why Parents Matter More Than Peers: Restoring A Healthy Balance in Adult-Child Relationships Dr. Gabor Maté Thursday, October 12, 2017 @ 7:00pm at Mountain View High School Spartan Theatre More than ever before, children and teens today turn to peers rather than parents and other caring adults for emotional support, values, role models, codes of conduct, and defining their own identity. This overly skewed “peer orientation” disrupts healthy development, undermines family cohesion, and fosters an aggressive and prematurely sexualized youth culture.

Author Visit Hey Grizzlies, we have an author visit coming to our school on Monday, October 2nd…Ryan T. Higgins will be here to talk about what it’s like to be an author AND illustrator. Mr. Higgins will even be demonstrating his artistic craft live in front of our K-4th graders. A little about his picture books…After the events of Hotel Bruce, our favorite curmudgeonly bear shares his home with not only his four geese, but three rowdy mice besides! Fed up with their shenanigans, Bruce sets off to find a rodent-free household. But as usual, nothing goes quite according to plan. . . A hilarious sequel for fans of the previous Bruce books, as well as a standalone discovery for new readers, Bruce's next reluctant adventure, Bruce’s Big Move, is sure to keep kids giggling. Thanks so much, Mrs. DeRego |
