Puberty Presentations for Father/Son and Mother/Daughter for

5th grade students AND THEIR PARENTS

The SHPP Faith Formation Committee has invited Dr. Coleen Mast, a leader in the field of chastity education, to offer her popular “Puberty Presentations for Father/Son and Mother/Daughter” to our Fifth Grade class and their parents. The sessions will be held on Friday April 5th from 6:30-8:30 pm in McSherry Hall (Mother/Daughter), and in the Gym (Father/Son). These consist of two simultaneous two hour presentations in two different rooms; the girls led by Dr. Mast, and the boys led by a pro-life man. It will include videos and discussions on how to mature spiritually and emotionally while these physical changes are taking place. The presentation will include some theology and biology of the body, with practical advice for puberty and virtue challenges. The boys’ program is entitled “Strong, Smart and Pure.”; while the girls’ program is called “Truth, Beauty, & Life.”  While this is a 5th grade specific program, Dr. Renehan is recommending that 4th grade parents attend but without their children.  Participation in these sessions is optional and at no additional cost. No food will be offered during these sessions. For more information about Dr. Mast please visit www.sexrespect.com.

Please make a note on your upcoming calendars. There will be no busing all day (to and from school) on Thursday, March 14, Friday, March 15 and Friday, March 22 for District 203 bus riders. All other buses will be running on those days.
