Dear Neighbor,
In the spirit of providing our children with the tools and knowledge they need to recognize unsafe situations and effectively protect themselves, the Security Committee of CCCHA is very excited to present a series of workshops by Pattie Fitzgerald, of Safely Ever After, Inc.
The first two workshops to be offered are “Kidz-Power!”, for children ages 5 – 8, and “An Ounce of Prevention”. Depending upon response and need, these workshops may be offered again to allow everyone an opportunity to attend and subsequent workshops will be offered in the upcoming months and will be organized by age range.
“Kidz-Power” is designed for children ages 5-8, however, parents are welcome and encouraged to attend. The content of each of these workshops will be age-appropriate, empowering, fun and very importantly, not frightening.
The cost to attend is $25 per child ($20 for siblings). There is no charge for parents who wish to attend.
“An Ounce of Prevention”, is designed for parents and caregivers with a special focus on younger children (4 years and under). The cost to attend is $30 per adult. (This is an adults-only workshop)
