Practical Parenting Partnership (PPP) at Meadow Heights is having its first quarterly meeting on November 10 at the high school library in Patton. The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. and babysitting will be provided. The topic will be nutrition.

The meeting will coincide with the book fair in celebration of National Children's Book Week. A family night for the book fair is scheduled for Nov. 10 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Over 600 new books have arrived at the Meadow Heights Elementary Media Center. These books are part of the new Accelerated Reading Program taking place in the classrooms. The principal's REACH 100 reading program will be phased out this year and replaced with the Accelerated Reading Program.

A lending library has been established at the high school library. Parents can check out books, videos, cassettes and magazines. There are a variety of topics: career choices, self-esteem, dealing with emotions, discipline, conflict and choices, parenting skills and many more. These materials may be checked out during the meeting times or send a note to the librarian. Be sure to include the desired topic.
