Kids Care Club
Since we can't meet in person, we would LOVE to do an at home project for KCC! Anyone can join.
Project: Cards for residents at Pine Run Lakeview and Wesley Enhanced Living. Also cards for our AMAZING Hospital workers.
Details: Make a card, poster, craft for a resident of Pine Run/Wesley or a Doylestown Hospital front line worker. These cards....are really helping to boost the spirits of the seniors and frontline hospital workers.
Due date: Monday, May 11th.
Drop off info: You can drop the donations off any time from 9a-9p to the garage of Caroline Orford at 3819 Charter Club Drive. There is a box labeled Kids Care Club for the donations (I am also collecting for several other organizations, so please put it in the KCC box).
******Please follow Gov. Wolf's recommendations of Social Distancing, Mask Wearing and Stay at Home by combining this drop off with another life sustaining errand such as the grocery store... Thanks, from the Kids Care Club!*****

CBSD Farmers Market
The CBSD Farmers Market is open! A week after the start of the COVID-19 crisis, we began distributing food every week on Wednesdays at 4:00 at Barclay Elementary School. We believe that in a community as well resourced as ours, no child should ever be hungry. If you find yourself in need, please stop by.
If you find yourself in a position of giving, consider supporting this initiative. Please help us share food with families and children throughout the Central Bucks School District during this crisis! Click HERE to support our Go Fund Me. Thank you for your generosity!

Does your child make his/her own decisions? Does he/she take control, problem solve, and make a plan? Then, nominate your child for this month's Boomerang Youth Recognition Award!
The month of May is Asset #37: Personal Power – young person feels he or she has control over “things that happen to me”. Click here for the Nominating Form and email it to Miss Meier at emeier@cbsd.org. Nomination forms are due by Monday, May 26th.
A Call to Action Over Anxiety.
Parent Positive Facebook LIVE Event with Dr. Katherine Dahlsgaard – Working cooperatively with The CB Cares Educational Foundation, the Central Bucks School District invites our entire community to take part in a very special Parent Positive Facebook LIVE event hosted by Dr. Katherine Dahlsgaard on Thursday, May 7th at 4 p.m.
Presented courtesy of Dr. Dahlsgaard, the event entitled “The Second Greatest Generation? A Call to Action Over Anxiety,” will feature a 30-minute LIVE presentation by Dr. Dahlsgaard followed by a 20-minute public question and answer session. During the event, Dr. Dahlsgaard, a psychologist specializing in the treatment of anxiety disorders, will discuss strategies for psychological survival during the once-in-a-generation pandemic of Covid-19. She hopes to inspire our community to manage our fears and build resilience for our future. A long-standing supporter and friend to CBSD, Katherine Dahlsgaard, Ph.D., ABPP, is Clinical Director of the Anxiety Behaviors Clinic in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
