Donuts with Dads
- The time frame is from 7:30AM to 8:15AM.
- Parking will be limited so please consider car pooling or walking (if you live close by).
- Parking will start on the recess lot. One of our custodial staff members will be there to assist. Once the recess lot fills, we will move parking to our "staff parking lot." If needed, we will then send overflow parking to Land Rd (parked cars will have to face Almshouse Rd). PLEASE DO NOT park in the BUS LOADING area or the KISS-N-Drop area.
- You may utilize the recess yard entrance or the main entrance (depending on where you had to park)
- Once you enter, simply "check-in" at the registration table.
- From there, you'll enter the cafeteria, take a donut and drink, and sit with your children and talk...
- If you have any questions about registration (dates), please contact Mrs. Melissa Hanford at mdhanford@verizon.net
I'm hopeful this will be a fun time for all involved.

Parent Positive Event
Please join us on Saturday, March 11th for our next Parent Positive event. The afternoon will focus on “Building a Community of Kindness” by discovering our common ground.
This Parent Positive session is open to parents and students and will be held at the Central Bucks Family YMCA – Doylestown campus.
For students 1st thru 5th 1pm to 4pm
Although we are alike, we are still very different! The words we use to describe differences can have a big impact on how others feel! Through conversation and team building exercises you will learn how to communicate thoughtfully and discover what you have in common with friends!
For students 6th through 9th grade 1pm to 4pm
What is it like to grow up “feeling” different? Ask Chelsea White. Diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at 4, Chelsea will share her experiences, while challenging you to embrace and celebrate your own differences and quirks. Her story will make you more tolerant- not only of others, but also of yourself! Includes team building exercises.
Parent Panel Discussion Teen Center 1pm to 2:15pm
Chelsea White, comedian and TV producer, will share her story as a way of educating parents on how to help their children accept and embrace differences in themselves and others. Discussion with Jill Schweizer, CBSD Special Education Supervisor and Meghan Halberstadt, Associate Director of Y Ability programs will follow Chelsea’s presentation.
Registration for this free event is required.
The Parent Positive Speaker Series is a collaboration among Doylestown Health, CB Cares Educational Foundation, the Central Bucks School District, and the Central Bucks Family YMCA.
Information on the Parent Positive Speaker Series can be found on the CBSD website. cbsd.org/parentpositive.
