FOCUS presents How Does Your "Executive Function"?
FOCUS is proud to announce a new webinar for parents called How Does Your "Executive Function"? to take place on Wednesday, November 30th from 7:00 - 8:30 PM. Perk Musacchio, M.Ed. and Educational Consultant will present on this topic.
Last minute run to the store at 9 PM to get a poster board for a project that is due tomorrow? Forgot to hand in homework that you watched get completed? Is it a case of can’t or won’t? Many parents ask themselves this very question when it comes to the behavior of someone they know (and love). Trying to parent a child whose executive function skills are not fully developed and definitely not performing efficiently can be very frustrating. Come learn what you can do to encourage these skills so that you (and your child) won’t be frustrated.
We hope you join us! Please Share!

The Coin Collection Drive is Happening Now at UE!
UE is holding a coin collection drive now to November 23rd to benefit "Blankets for Buddies," our school Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service Project and the "Kindness Fund."
All of the proceeds from the coin drive are going to be used to help families in need and to purchase the materials needed to make special fleece blankets that will be donated to kids with long-term illnesses at Nemours Children's Hospital.
Each grade level will compete to fill a jar with as many coins as possible!
Congratulations to 2nd grade for having the tallest collection of coins after the first collection period and winning a special prize!!
Please continue to send in those coins because the grade level that raises the most money by the end of the coin drive has an opportunity to win a movie party for their class!
Reach out to Mr. D'Esposito with any questions: cdesposito@ucfsd.net
