Lectureship Series
The Beachwood PTO proudly presents its second of a two-part FREE
lecture series by guidance counselors Ashley Saferight and Meghann
Sullivan on "Finding the AHA! Developing a Growth Mindset with Your
Child," on Tuesday, Feb. 17 at 7 pm, in the Beachwood High School Com-
munity Room.
Have you ever looked at your children and wondered how to help
them reach their full potential? Do you want your children to crave chal-
lenges, push themselves, and value learning new things? The way you in-
teract with your children has a major impact on the way they think about
themselves, perform in school and participate in everyday activities.
Did you know that some praise can actually hinder performance?
This interactive workshop will help parents learn the difference between
a fixed mindset and growth mindset, and how to nurture a growth
mindset in your child. We will use real-world examples and interactive
activities so that you will walk out the door, immediately able to apply
what you learned.
Letter to the Community:
We are extremely grateful for the editorial pages in last month's
Beachwood Buzz in which you paid such a visually and emotionally
stunning tribute to Darcy. We also appreciate how difficult it must have
been for you to not only include the editorial, but to also publish the
magazine during the most difficult and sad days of your life.
We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the Beachwood
community for the continued love and support being shown to us all.
From the city government to the schools to the police department to
the Gathering Place to the friends and families of the community, all
have expressed love and concern for our family and we are eternally
appreciative. And wherever we go in Beachwood, people continue to
remind us of Darcy's impact on their lives. To us, she was mother, wife
and friend. To the community, Darcy was an example of commitment
to excellence and a battling, courageous spirit with no desire to give
up or give in at any turn. While we miss her viscerally every moment
of every day, it is our hope that through our actions and deeds, and
smiles and hugs, we can make her proud.
If indeed the adage is true, that it takes a community to raise
a family, we consider ourselves lucky to have the Beachwood
community.
With gratitude and love,
Randy Sophie Max and Sadie Alter
