Parenting Matters: Raising Successful Children

Looking for tips on how to help your children succeed academically and socially – in school and in the community? Join the MD PIRC and the Eastern Shore Regional Advisory Committee for an exciting, wonderful and FREE event for parents and family members (see flyer).


The Eastern Shore’s second Parenting Matters: Raising Successful Children conference will be held Saturday, March 6, 2010 at Wor-Wic Community College in Salisbury, MD. Child care, programming for kids and youth, and breakfast and lunch will be provided at no cost.


The conference is being held at Wor-Wic Community on Saturday March 6, 8:15 am – 3:00 pm. Special features of the conference include: ‘Raising Successful Learners in Elementary School’ workshop led by Wicomcio County Teachers of the Year Debbie Wilkens and Susan Cullen; One Stop Job Market Mobile Van; and Paying for College seminar.


In addition, there will be door prizes for families, a Youth Leadership Academy with fun, learning activities for youth (ages 6-14), Spanish language interpreters for parents, and special music for the opening session by Wicomico County’s very own -- The Edgeucators.


Remember, the conference is free (with breakfast, lunch, childcare, youth activities). But registration is required (for seminars, childcare, and the youth leadership academy). To register, click on: www.mdpirc.org/conference/March6.
