Shoal Creek Student Family Connection

Hi Families, here's your "need-to-know" info for your Buya and Crash Students:

1. "Fun Fridays" Every Friday In July - Shoal Creek is starting a relationship with the Clayview Terrace Apartment complex on Church Rd. We are going to do 5 kid-centered fun events every Friday from 11:00am-1pm in July to build relationships that we hope lead to "Homework Huddles" in the Fall of this school year. 

Here's a snippet from Eric Haynes of what happened at the first Fun Friday: 

Thanks for everyone who came out to help on our very first Fun Friday event!!  There were some great connections made with the families there and some amazing stories shared.  In one event, we may have connected someone to a new job, gave a child in a wheelchair a fun memory as he participated in the water fight, and saw some new friendships happen.

2. Crash Summer Small Group Session DONE for Summer. This summer session was only a shorter, 6-week session. Our Crash small groups will now be on break. In August we will have a signup period that will run for a couple weeks so that students can give us their best availability, and we will start up a Fall Session of Crash small groups that will run for 8-10 weeks.

3. Helping Our Teens With Their Insecurities - Here's an article I ran across this week with some tips on what kind of mindset to try to shoot for when interacting with our teenagers, who can often be walking time bombs of insecurity.

Here's what's available to students and how we communicate to student families weekly.

1. "Buya" program every Sunday, 9:30am and 11am in the Underground for all 6th-8th grade students.
2. "Crash" program every Sunday, 11am only, in the Attic for 9th-12th grade students.
3. Join the "Buya Parents" or the "Crash Parents" City groups if you want weekly info on upcoming events.
