901 Ridge Road, Pottstown, PA 19465MORE OPTIONS FOR BUILDING AND SUSTAINING HEALTHY FAMILIES
Our friends at North Coventry Elementary School were at a conference in Kansas City this past January. They applied for a new grant titled Raising Highly Capable Kids that is managed through the Rezilient Kids organization. The program, Raising Highly Capable Kids teaches parents about the Search Institute's 40 Developmental Assets. Some of the categories include Supporting Children, Empowerment, Setting Boundaries and Expectations, and a Commitment to Learning. They have graciously extended the invitation East Vincent families as well.
There are two phases to the grant. The first phase is called Vision Casting. This is a time where the school and community come together to learn about the research, curriculum, and to understand the goals of the program. The Vision Casting will be held from 6:00 p.m.- 7:30 p.m. on May 15. As a North Coventry Community, it's important that parents/stakeholders help with this process. Please come out to the Vision Casting to learn more!
Phase 2, which is the main portion of the grant, is a 13-week parent program to help raise healthy caring and responsible children. The sessions will be held in evenings this coming fall at North Coventry. We are looking forward to the first step on May 15 at 6:00 p.m.

EV NEWS BROADCAST - CAT CASH INCENTIVE
If you watched last week’s EV News Broadcast than you heard about a new way students can spend their Cat Cash: to guest star on the EV News! There is 1 red box in each hallway:
- K-2 box is outside of Mrs. LaFountain’s room on top of the glass shelf
- 3-4 box is on the bookshelf outside of Mr. Brewer's room.
- 5-6 box is outside of Mrs. Sarkar's room on a chair.
Students can submit as much Cat Cash as they would like with their name and homeroom teacher written on the back of each one. Two students will be chosen from each box to guest star on EV News.
