    Broadalbin-Perth's Parent University series continues Tuesday, Feb. 25 with a session on hobbies as a way to increase a child's confidence, curiosity, and creativity. The webinar begins at 6:30 p.m. via Zoom; pre-registration is required. According to presenter Bennett Beaulieu, a biomedical engineering student at Union College, hobbies, interests, and passions lie at the heart of a strengths-based approach to parenting. Discovering and developing skills and activities that light them up will help children build a healthy self-esteem and will increase their confidence in their abilities to solve problems. Bennett will share how hobbies enriched his life while he was growing up, then will introduce ways parents and caregivers can help children develop their own interests and passions.

    Broadalbin-Perth's Parent University series continues Tuesday, Feb. 11 with a session on helping parents find a work-life balance. The webinar begins at 6:30 p.m. via Zoom; pre-registration is required. According to presenter Dr. Jennifer Bashant, parents and caregivers have one of the toughest – yet most rewarding – jobs on earth. Raising a family requires a lot of energy, patience and consistency, which can take a toll, she says, and finding balance between the demands of home and work can be challenging. During this webinar, Bashant will discuss setting boundaries, carving out time to rest and renew, and ways to structure schedules to feel more in control. Click here to pre-register for the webinar.

  • Volunteers needed to package more than 40,000 meals ...

    Click here to register as a volunteer Last week, Broadalbin-Perth Elementary School students raised more than $10,000 to purchase meals for those in need through Rise Against Hunger. Now it’s time to package those meals for distribution to hungry children around the world. In all, the Broadalbin-Perth community and First Presbyterian Church of Broadalbin are on track to raise enough money to purchase more than 40,000 meals. Members of the community can still submit online donations toward the fundraising effort.  Organizers are looking for 300 volunteers to prepare the meals for shipment during the Rise Against Hunger Meal Packaging Party, which starts at 1 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 2 in the Robert C. Munn Gymnasium at Broadalbin-Perth Jr./Sr. High School. Adults and children as young as 4 years old can help package meals. Volunteers are encouraged to arrive no later than 12:45 on Feb. 2 to ensure an on-time start to the event. All volunteers will need to cover their hair while packaging meals; hairnets will be provided to all volunteers. Gloves will also be provided. Beard nets will be available for men with facial hair. Last year, the school community raised nearly $16,000, and more than 200 volunteers packaged more than 45,000 meals in just over two hours. The district later learned that those meals helped feed people in the Phillippines. Rise Against Hunger is an international non-profit organization working to end hunger around the world. According to its website, RiseAgainstHunger.org , the organization focuses on “remote, last-mile communities within hunger pockets designated 'serious' or higher on the Global Hunger Index, which are the hardest places to reach and are often difficult to access, lack communication and have poor infrastructure.” Many of Rise Against Hunger’s meals are distributed through school feeding programs in local communities.

    Broadalbin-Perth's Parent University series continues Tuesday, Jan. 28 with a session on helping parents encourage open communication with their teens. The webinar begins at 6:30 p.m. via Zoom; pre-registration is required. According to presenter and educational consultant Bob Mackey, parents and caregivers want their children to come to them with issues, problems, and struggles they are facing. However, parents often struggle to develop the trust required to encourage this type of open communication, especially about hard-to-face issues. During this webinar, Mackey will share strategies and facilitate discussion about ways in which parents can invite and encourage their teens to be open with them.
