Creative play is such an important part of child development. It is important for children to participate in pretend play or make-believe activities. This develops abstract thinking, negotiating skills, communication skills and a wide variety of necessary skills your child will need in later years. It is also a way for children to problem solve and practice social situations so they are comfortable when faced with the "real" challenges.

Community Service Opportunity: STOP Domestic Violence
Each October STOP Domestic Violence reaches out to the community to provide awareness of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. We make purple ribbons to be worn or displayed at locations. Banners are hung to remind everyone of the purpose of the month. There will be a candlelight vigil held. The community service opportunity includes making ribbons to be placed on cards to be distributed. We also provide the local law enforcement officer with a candy bar that is wrapped with purple paper offering our thanks for their help and providing information about domestic violence and STOP Domestic Violence’s services. If anyone would like to assist us with the wrapping of the candy bars or making purple ribbons and putting them on the cards, please let me know. We would need them by 9/27. We supply the materials for each of the projects. Contact Sheri King, at 563-6904 extension 131 or sking@bhsn.org.
