When: Tuesday, April 15th 6-8pm
Where: Stratford Elementary School Gym

*Update: Initially we had hoped to be able to stream this event for those that couldn’t make it to the school in person. Unfortunately, we are no longer able to provide this as an option.
Come hear presentations on the challenges facing our youth and learn about resources available to families from local guest speakers working in this field. We will have representatives from the RCMP, the Community Legal Information Association (CLIA), and the local chapter of Unplugged Canada.
PLEASE NOTE: These sessions are for parents and caregivers ONLY. Due to the nature of these subjects children will not be admitted to these events.
This Parent Leadership Project is supported by the PEI Home & School Federation and is an initiative of Stratford Elementary School Home & School.
