Parents as Teachers 2023 hoLdS AnnuAL eASter egg hunt

Several families attended to do crafts, play games, have a snack and, of course, hunt for those Easter eggs. So much fun and excitement at this age. We love our little Cardinals and we would love for your family to join us!

“It takes a village” is more than just a phrase to me. It is my goal to strengthen our Lawson Cardinal Village, by connecting families, providing resources and personalized visits. I provide screenings annually for those enrolled in PAT. The screening gives us the ability to track the amazing growth your child will have over the next year. I conduct an ASQ or DIAL-4 developmental screening (depending on age). I also screen your child’s vision and hearing.

Beyond screenings, I also provide personalized visits and group events for all families with children PRENATAL to kindergarten entry. This is a free service provided by the district to help assist families in all aspects of childrearing. I would love for your family to join our program and be part of our Lawson Cardinal Village!

Parents as Teachers is accepting new families into this FREE program. If you are interested in joining PAT, it is for children PRENATAL to kindergarten entry, that reside in the Lawson School District.

Please reach out for more information, or scan the QR code and fill out the enrollment form. Once it has been submitted, I will contact you to schedule a personal visit and get you started!

Sincerely,

Kristina Meyer Lawson R-XIV Parents as Teachers Meyerk@ lawsoncardinals.org 816-580-7277
