Fierce Frogs Music Video
John Joyce, parent of Stefan and Malina and member of the awesome band Poochamungas, wrote an amazing song in celebration of Brickton. Titled Fierce Frogs, this song was recorded right here at Brickton with the help of John’s bandmates. It features Dave Degand, father of James and Sarah, on vocals, John Joyce on guitar, and John Huber on banjo. The song is all about Brickton, and the video features Brickton staff and students. It is a beautiful tribute to our school and our community. We are proud to have such talented members of the Brickton family! Thanks go to Joe Somers for putting together the spectacular video.
Picture Orders
All families who ordered picture packages from Interstate Studios should have automatically received a class picture with their order. Some were delivered to school in the late fall but recently, several parents have stopped in the office and reported that they have not received theirs. If you placed an order with Interstate but never got the class picture, please stop in the office or email Sara (sara.gregory@brickton.org) by Friday, February 21st, so that she can get in touch with the company and request all the missing pictures at one time.
Parent Enrichment Seminar: Parenting with Choices, Consequences, and Limits
Would you like for your student to develop responsibility and self-reliance? Would you like to encourage mutual respect and cooperation with your child while enhancing your relationship? In this seminar, we’ll discuss different strategies to set effective limits, improve motivation, offer choices, and utilize natural consequences for any age child. In addition, we’ll explore opportunities to boost parent-child relationships, how to diffuse conflict, and how to use strategies for reducing tension at home and at school.
Please join our guest speaker at Brickton, Dr. Felix Casados, for this parent enhancement seminar on February 26, 2014, 6:00-7:00 pm. Care will be provided, and dinner is available for all. Please RSVP to kelly.mcdermott@brickton.org or in the office.
