Collaboration and Resilience!

Tuesday, January 15, 2013
2013 marks the inaugural year of the Triad Parent Education Speaker Program—a collaborative effort between CSG, CA and Wellington to bring some really top-notch speakers to present important and relevant parenting topics.  

Up first is Dr. Ken Ginsburg,  author and pediatrician specializing in Adolescent Medicine at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and a Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He also serves as Director of Health Services at Covenant House Pennsylvania, an agency that serves homeless youth in Philadelphia.

Pajamas in the house...or Dining Hall!

Wednesday, January 9, 2013
It's time for the MOSAIC Pajama House Party!  Despite horrid weather, last year's event had more than 300 CA community peeps come out for fun music, dancing, games and a good time.  Everyone left wanting to know when we could do it again...



...so, mark your calendars for Friday, January 18th from 6-9pm in the Dining Hall!   There will be a DJ complete with a fantastic big screen for music videos, light show and video game stations.  

Post-holiday purge?

Sunday, January 6, 2013
If your house is anything like ours, it has been inundated with "stuff" over the last several weeks.  The holiday season brought gifts aplenty, but it also brought the occasions that the kids needed to dress
up for—and that meant sport coats and dress pants that I was horrified to find no longer fit my lanky, growing boys.

If you, like me, have developed a little mountain of these items that no longer fit, please consider bringing them to the uniform exchange closet!  They will make fabulous additions for our community as we all search for these expensive and under-utilzed pieces of clothing in our children's wardrobes.  With band concerts and LS and MS graduations there is always a need!

In a similar recycle, reduce, reuse vein, hats off to Beth Fisher, who prior to winter break, chaired an off-the-page graduation dress exchange, where a full 1/3 of our senior girls were able to score a gown for their big day in June.

The uniform exchange closet is located just down the hall from the nurse's office and with no door, is open anytime you might wish to pop in.  Purge away and bring a bag of stuff to donate and fill it back up with stuff to fit your growing brood!
