I don't want to scare my children, but I don't want to lie to them either." ·  You may be unclear what your child understands, "My son never says anything to me about my cancer." ·  If you question "Am I going to die from this?", your child may be quietly worried too.  Kids Together Against Cancer's five week program is child and parent focused in a positive and fun environment.  Art Educators, from the Cummer Museum of Art, help children create beautiful art projects to help express their feelings. Licensed Oncology Social Workers guide adult group discussion to help families cope with the cancer diagnosis.  DATES:    Tuesday May 28th     Tuesday June 4th  Tuesday June 11th  Tuesday June 18th  Tuesday June 25th-Celebration at the Cummer Museum  Times:    5:30pm Dinner (free); 6:00pm - 7:00p Art Session  Location:  Riverside Presbyterian Day School            (830 Oak Street) Please join us and call 742-2916 to reserve your space The Helping Hands of KTAC   KTAC programs are free to anyone, no matter where they are being treated.    KTAC offers art workshops, individual consultations, as well as information and resources to help families during a parent's cancer journey.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY!

The event: P.E.P. Rally for Excellence

Saturday June 1

When:             10:00 AM - 1:00 PM   (Volunteers report at 9:30)
Where:            Metropolitan Park, 1410 Gator Bowl Blvd, Jacksonville, FL 32202

What:              Parents, students, teachers and citizens are all invited to this community-wide event to focus on public education reforms, strategies, advocacy and student achievement.  This educational resource and innovation fair includes:

·         Public education workshops & presentations

·         DCPS's Annual Reading Celebration/WJCT's Share a Story

·         Student recognition programs

·         Business partnership opportunities

·         Family friendly activities & wellness information

·         Entertainment, interactive booths & giveaways

WJCT is participating the event above with 6 of our PBS characters (like Cat in the Hat, Clifford, Curious George & the Man in the Yellow Hat, etc.).  We have volunteer spots for 25 student volunteers and would welcome any of you who would like to earn community service volunteer hours. Volunteers will be manning and handling our 6 costume characters.  We hope to have enough volunteers that each would only do two or three, 15 min shifts in the costume.  We also need help with the craft table area so volunteers may rotate between costume and crafts.  It looks like it will be a fun day!  Volunteer hours will still count for Bright Futures if entered before graduation. And of course juniors can get a jump start on their hours for next year.

Thank you,
