CELEBRATE THE FAMILY

NOVEMBER 23-29
For many years, the National Alliance for Children and Families has promoted National Family Week during the week of Thanksgiving as a time for families to come together and celebrate their connections with each other and their community.
Here are some ideas from the Alliance to help you celebrate family, November 23-29—and all through the year. This blog may be a great piece to add to your center’s newsletter to parents.
• Plan a “family supper” with your neighbors.
• Write a thank-you note to someone who helps your family, such as childcare provider, teacher, or someone who helps with repairs, lawn work, or housework.
• Volunteer your time with a nonprofit organization that helps families in need.
• Hold a family night with your own family. Play games and share other activities.
• Encourage employers to consider family-friendly work options such as flexible hours and flexible time off to attend school functions.
• Select an issue that’s important to your family and work with local officials to effect change.
• Organize or participate in a school meeting about improving your child's education.
