News from Our School Counselor
Parents,
During this time of increased technology use, it is even more important to remember the dangers of social media on children. According to a study, at least half of kids will have some sort of social media before the age of 12. For tips on keeping your children safe on social media, please review the attached image.
Hope you all have a safe and happy weekend.

Hello,
I hope that all is well with you and your families. We miss the members so much at the Club. We wanted to share our new Club Connect page that we just launched. Parents can call our Club Connect Hotline for E Learning help. They will be set up then for a Zoom Meeting with our Education Coordinator as well as with the Club or Program Director to assist. We are also starting to pass out meals once a week here at the Club they can drive by and pick up the meals on the set days. All information can be found on the new Club Connect page at https://www.bgcgreaternwi.org/club-connect/
