KMHR.US CLUB MEETING 3 PARENT & COMMUNITY LETTER

IMPORTANT! PARENTS, PLEASE READ

Dear Parents and Community:

There was a party for the children held in our neighborhood park on July 18, 2009. At the party we passed out index cards and asked the kids to tell us what type of programs they would be interested in participating in by writing down their ideas. We also told the kids that they may remain anonymous, however, some kids gave us their names.

The kids stated they wanted:

1. Job training/Job interviewing skills and attire.
2. Learning how to fill out a job application.
3. Learning how to build a resume.
4. Anger management.
5. How to obtain scholarships in sports and music.
6. Driving training.
7. Girls and boys group.
8. Learn how to cook/sewing lessons.
9 . To feel as though they are a part of Kirkwood.

Due to the frequent spelling and grammar mistakes on the cards we feel that a tenth item could be added:

10. Take workshops on grammar, spelling, and writing.

We have scheduled a parent and community discussion and action meeting for:

Tuesday, August 11, 2009, at 7 pm at Turner School, 1099 Milwaukee Street.

The children, teens and young adults have placed their requests and needs on the agenda for us. We have some ideas about how to reach some of these agenda items but community and parent help is needed to cement the objectives and create the potential outcome.

Parents will make an important difference in the lives of children in this meeting so Please, please come!

We have a Web Page: http://kmhr.us/kmhrmeeting3.htm to help with information. For more information contact Janet Jones at 822 1140 or me, Michael Moore, 821 3978 after 2 pm.

Thanks, Mike
