Many of us have noticed that teenagers are unprepared when they leave their parents’ homes for the first time because, often, they don’t know how to cook, balance a bank account, or even perform basic car maintenance. We recognize that these are vital skills that every young person needs to know so we have teamed up with various knowledgeable community leaders to offer a Life Skills Class for 9th-12th graders. This class is not designed to take the place of parental teaching and guidance but to enhance and reinforce those lessons.
Some of the topics covered will include:
--Basic car maintenance
--Money Management --Household Skills --Good health habits --Social skills The class will begin September 7 at 5:15 p.m. and will be every subsequent Thursday with the last class being held on October 5th. This class will be hands on so available spots are limited. Information binders will be provided in class as well as a light snack.
