TRINITY OFFERS FREE PARENTING WORKSHOP MARCH 27
REGISTRATION CLOSES MARCH 23RD
Trinity Baptist Church and Celebrate Calm invite parents, teachers, friends, and the community to a dynamic, laugh-out-loud funny parenting event. https://subsplash.com/trinitybaptistchurch-la/lb/ev/+yvdmfyh
You have a strong-willed child who is bright, but not academically motivated. He wakes up with his own agenda and wants to do things on his own terms…so there are power struggles over everything. You find yourself saying, “If you would just do what I ask, you would be done in 7 minutes. But you’d rather argue with me for 7 hours, weeks, months or years and lose everything you own!” Consequences don’t work with this child. Neither does the “my way or highway” approach. We’ll show you how to stop the defiance, disrespect, and power struggles.
The workshop is completely free and perfect for parents with kids ages 2-22. Leave with strategies that work immediately! Childcare is available though we do ask that you complete a separate registration for your kids to ensure your spot: https://tbcmedia.wufoo.com/forms/celebrate-calm-childcare-march-27th
LAW DAY POSTER CONTEST
Every year the SWLA Bar Association hosts a contest for local students in conjunction with Law Day, a national day to celebrate the rule of law and what it means for Americans’ freedom. Local lawyers review the submissions and recognize and invite the winners to the annual Law Day ceremony in the Calcasieu Parish Courthouse with our local attorneys and Judges. The winning students and their parents will be invited to the ceremony.
Students K-12th are encouraged to submit posters that they draw or color themselves on a standard large size poster or submit a one-page single spaced essay. The theme for the 2022-2023 school year is “Toward a More Perfect Union: The Constitution in Times of Change”.
Posters and essays are due to Mrs. Ardoin by April 12th.
