A busy day for the director yesterday... lots to do.
The day started with learning more about Project Home and some of their resources, getting a chance to connect and see what we could do. It is amazing to realize how many agencies are working together to help provide services to those most in need in our community.
Then on to the Northfield United Way Kick-Off to be able to express our gratitude for the grat campaign last year and how important the United Way funds are to our agency, then off to a short staff meeting, then off to present on Healthy Relationships to 50 7th and 8th graders at Trondjhem Lutheran Church.
Wow! Were the kids full of energy :). We had a great time discussing healthy boundaries, what a healthy relationship looks like and talking about respect. We watched a 13 min. video (you can click here to watch) http://www.chooserespect.org/scripts/materials/videos/video_13min.asp I had the kids do a skit around whatever boundary their group had, emotional, physical, intellectual etc. The kids had a great time, lots of giggling and some great and not so great acting :). But we had fun and each person hopefully walked away with a little more information than they had before.
