"Finding the Joy in the Journey"--
This presentation is for parents of children in preschool through grade 8. As parents, we focus on school success, sports, after school activities, homework. But what about the social and emotional skills our children need for life? In this workshop, Dr. Wojcik will show us what truly matters for our child’s happy and healthy existence!

Dr. Jenny Wojcik is the Superintendent at Rondout School District 72 in Lake County, Illinois. A veteran educator for over 30 years, she has worked in schools as a teacher, school principal, central office administrator and superintendent. This event is being held at the Lake Bluff Middle School Library, 7-8:30 p.m.

"Facebook for Parents"--
Devorah Heitner, Media Studies professor at Lake Forest College, will present information to parents regarding their teens’ use of Facebook and social media. Are kids trading in real-life social skills for online activity? What are kids really DOING on Facebook? How can parents relate to their kids using social media? Join us for an information session and discussion as Professor Heitner examines the proliferation of Facebook, Twitter, and texting in our families’ lives and how parents can manage and understand the consequences of social media. Sponsored by the LFHS APT and LEAD. This event is being held at Lake Forest Highschool from 7-8:30 p.m.
