5th Annual Family Focus Forum Best Ever

This year’s Family Focus Forum, held at Oregon City High School on January 21st, was definitely the biggest and best yet! Among the highlights of the day were Dr. Kathy Masarie’s keynote, 25 workshops on a variety of topics of interest to parents, and a resource fair featuring over 20 community agencies and organizations offering information and support to families.

Along with the workshops and resource fair, the day also included a childcare room that resembled a day camp, a hot breakfast and full lunch thanks to a generous donation by Sodexo Services, and plenty of give-aways, including an iPad2 courtesy of BCT.

All this was possible – at no cost to attendees - because of support from businesses and other organizations in our community, including the Oregon City Optimist Club, the Oregon City Rotary, Grocery Outlet and our district’s parent clubs, as well as all the presenters who donated their time and expertise at the forum.

A special thank you to our district staff members who presented: Ginger Redlinger, Phyllis Hines, Mitch Luftig, Laura Poore, Andres Canales-Reyes, Morgan Bulson and Laura Minato.

Plans are already underway for next year’s event. You definitely don’t want to miss it!
