Elsberry's Annual Parent Summit is on Wednesday, February, 18th, from 6 pm-7:30 pm, doors open at 5:45 pm. Parenting is tough, and there is no instruction manual, but we can learn from each other. Parent Summit is a time for all LCR-II parents to learn together and support one another. Not only is everything free, but each adult attendee will receive a $10 gift card!
Dinner and child entertainment provided.
While parents attend their informational sessions, kids will enjoy a free show from world-renowned magician DJ Edwards!
Choose up to 3 sessions in one night! All sessions are 25 minutes each, and some will be offered virtually.
Informational sessions include:
- Teen Summit Presentation: Middle school students who attended the Teen Summit will share what they learned about drug and alcohol trends in Lincoln County and how parents can protect and inform their children.
- The Anxious Generation - Screen Time and Your Child: Looking at the research from the best-selling book The Anxious Generation, learn about the impact of screen time on your child and walk away with real solutions to reduce and monitor usage. In-person attendees will receive a complimentary copy of the book.
- Nutrition for Children: Learn about the impact of nutrition on children, not just physically but mentally, academically, emotionally, and developmentally. Walk away with healthy meal and snack ideas and ways to make small, healthy changes at home.
- Navigating Change & Loss: Divorce, death, moving, new siblings. Life is full of big changes, and they are difficult to navigate for children. This session will give you practical advice for how to help your child through changes and loss, as well as when to reach out for additional help.
- Anxiety and Your Child: What is anxiety? What does it look like? How can you help your child through it? When should you reach out for more help? This session will answer all of those questions and more.
- Putting Down Phones/Picking Up Family Time: This exciting session is filled with hands-on ideas for entertaining and bonding with your child - without a screen! Get ideas for fun, easy games, crafts, experiments, puzzles, and more! Walk away with new ideas, activities to take home, and an understanding of why it's so important we play with our children.

🎓 From High School Seniors to SCC Cougars!
Last week, a group of our incredible seniors took a major step toward their future by visiting St. Charles Community College as part of the Be Ready Program! 🐾
