PLAYSHOPS
FOR PARENTS AND EDUCATORS
Friday, May 16,
6:30–9:30 p.m.
(6:30
reception; program starts promptly at 7:00)
Location:
Hewlett-Packard Auditorium, HP Corporate Headquarters, 3000
Hanover Street (at the corner of Page Mill Road), Palo Alto.
Experience
Playshops directly as Jane puts us in the shoes of adopted preteens
and teens. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion
of preteens' and teens' experience of growing up adopted. Parents
should come away with a stronger understanding of our children's
perspective, having experienced it ourselves for a few hours.
Those with younger children will be better prepared for the changes
ahead. Dress comfortably for active participation.
This
interactive workshop for parents & educators will once again be free
for teachers, so please let your children's teachers know about this
unique opportunity to experience the perspective of adopted preteens
and teens.
Cost:
FAIR members $15 each, $25 for couples; Non-members $20 each;
Educators FREE (invite your children’s teachers!) Advanced
registration encouraged.
FAIR will provide
light refreshments. Feel free to bring a bag supper if you don’t
have time to eat beforehand. Questions? Contact Amy,
amyk@stanfordalumni.org
