Do you struggle to find strategies that work when your child’s behavior becomes challenging? If so, you are not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. Join us this Thursday, Oct. 15 for our "Redefining Consequences" workshop with Dr. David Meichenbaum a licensed clinical psychologist and Clinical Director of the Behavioral Health Clinic at The Summit Center. He will share practical ways to address challenging behaviors and help children build emotional functioning skills. At this workshop, you will:

- Learn the limitations of conventional behavioral approaches
- Discover practical, evidence-based strategies that can reduce problematic behaviors
- Understand what’s needed to develop effective behavior interventions

The workshop takes place this Thursday, Oct. 15 from 5:30 to 7:30 PM in the Kenmore Junior Senior High School Community Room, 155 Delaware Ave., Kenmore, NY 14217 (enter through Door 1). To enroll, call 716-874-8510 or email [email protected].

For some of our students, school lunch on Friday is the last reliable meal until Monday morning. This week and next week, our elementary schools will be collecting food donations for Blessings in a Backpack, a program that sends weekend meals home with kids who need them. It doesn't take much to make a difference - just a few items from your grocery cart which you can send in with your child. Here's what each grade is collecting:

- Kindergarten: Individually packaged crackers, pretzels or popcorn
- 1st grade: Individually packaged granola or breakfast bars
- 2nd grade: Individual fruit cups or applesauce pouches
- 3rd grade: Individual cereal bowls or pouches
- 4th grade: Ready-to-eat Chef Boyardee pasta or any brand ready-to-eat soup (not condensed)

Make sure you're submitting those learning activities Edison students! What a great giveaway next week for our Summer Learning Adventure participants!!!

Did someone say Bills practice tickets?!?!?! Thanks to a VERY generous donation for our Gr. K-5 Summer Learning Adventures, we have an AMAZING item to give away during next Monday's drawing! Here are the details:

Next Monday, we'll begin our weekly drawing by doing ONE spin from the Summer Learning Adventures submission list for the week of August 3-7. That name will have the chance to claim up to four tickets to the Bills open practice on August 18th at 8:30am at the new Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park (the tickets don't include the $5 parking fee). If the winner doesn't want the tickets - no problem! That winner will then be designated as one of our weekly drawing winners and can choose from one of our other prizes (like a gift card to a local restaurant or a sports-themed t-shirt for school spirit days). If the winner doesn't want the tickets, then we'll do another spin to pick another winner who can claim the tickets that are still up for grabs. We will still pick two weekly winners for our Summer Learning drawing so if you don't win the Bills tickets, you still have the chance to win some other great prizes next Monday!

A reminder that our students can submit their learning activities up to 2x per day Monday-Friday (one ELA and one Math activity) so you can earn up to 10 entries for next week's drawing! Even if you've already won a prize this summer, you can still win each week - it's all up to the wheel!

Again -- we'll do one spin for the tickets and will then do our normal spin for the other prizes that have been generously donated. Good luck to all our students!

Mr. Gattuso and Mr. Whiskers visit Wat Arun, or Temple of the Dawn, in Bangkok, Thailand! It was SO hot and humid, both of us needed a mango smoothie after our visit!

How about YOUR summer? If you and Mr. Whiskers have done anything fun (vacation, staycation at home, etc.) remember to take a pic of the two of you. We’ll tell you how you can send them when the school year starts, and we’ll post them on the Library insta: !
