help your friends resolve their differences? Do you want to positively
influence the culture of your school? If your answer to any of these questions

HUNGER
FREE VERMONT
•Dear
school nutrition professionals,
•Did
you know that 1 in 5 Vermont children live in families that struggle with
hunger? Many families are unaware that receiving the Earned Income Tax
Credit makes them eligible for food and nutrition benefits as well…
•And
this includes free school meals for their kids!
•Families
who receive the Vermont Earned Income Tax Credit and have dependent children
qualify for 3SquaresVT (formerly food stamps) without having to meet the income
test typically required to establish eligibility; and once receiving
3SquaresVT, the children then qualify for free school meals as well.
•
•This
tax season, Hunger Free Vermont is spreading the word about this important
connection, and we need your help! We have developed short
newsletter articles and a flyer for you to share with families in your
community (both attached). Please consider distributing and/or hanging up the
attached flyer (we can mail you printed versions) and share the short article
(attached) through your newsletters or bulletins.
•
•Thank
you for distributing these important materials on the connection
between EITC and 3SquaresVT. For more information about 3SquaresVT or
EITC, or for printed materials, contact Faye Conte at fconte@hungerfreevt.org or 802-865-0255.
IMPROVE COMMUNICATION
WITH YOUR TEENAGER
Parents, grandparents and caregivers of children
ages 10-19 are invited to attend a complimentary workshop to improve
communications with their children.
(Brattleboro, Vermont) Parenting does not come with a handbook but
Parenting Teens Wisely does. In an effort to promote positive communications
between parents, caregivers and teens, the Brattleboro Area Prevention
Coalition (BAPC) and Windham County Partnership for Success are offering the
Parenting Teens Wisely workshop, on Monday, March 3rd from 6:00pm to
9:00pm at the Marlboro College Graduate Center at 28 Vernon Street in
Brattleboro. This free three hour workshop teaches parents skills and
techniques to help them better understand and deal with children ages 10-19.
Participants will learn how to problem-solve and encourage cooperation with
their teen and learn to develop fair and effective discipline skills.
Two trained facilitators will guide participants to help build understanding and communication among all members of the family. The course teaches constructive skills proven to lessen drug and alcohol abuse in youth, school and homework problems, delinquency and other problem behaviors, as well as family conflict.
