Pioneer Middle School and Parenting Teens Together, a local parent support group, are partnering to host parent education evenings at Pioneer Middle School. The Pioneer Parent Night will begin Tuesday, February 4 and continue monthly to provide information to parents on a wide range of topics and will always include dinner and child care.

 

The evening will begin at 6:30 p.m. with dinner from Sweet Basil for the entire family.  Supervised child care by Campfire of Walla Walla will be available after dinner so parents can gather to hear from Principal Mira Gobel and guest speaker Risk Management Specialist Mark Thompson. Principal Gobel and Thompson will share valuable information for parents on how best to deal with crisis situations when dealing with teens and will clarify bullying.  After the event, informational booths will be available, including Academic Clubs, GEAR UP, Campfire, Parenting Teens Together and afterschool programs.

 

“We have been wanting to provide an informational evening for parents and by partnering with the Moms’ Network and Parenting Teens Together we can combine resources to include dinner, child care, information and a guest speaker” said Gobel. “Pioneer Parent Nights will strengthen the partnership between teachers, administrators and parents at our school.”

 

The event is free and open to all families at Pioneer Middle School. Parenting Teens Together is a confidential support group for parents of teens, founded by local parents in conjunctions with the Moms’ Network. The group meets the third Thursday of each month alternating guest speakers and open discussions.  Parenting Teens Together can be found on Facebook or contact beth@themomsnetworkww.com
