Tuesdays, Sept. 3 and Dec. 17. 4–5:30 p.m.	4 Teen Center Open House 12:00 pm-5:00 pm 09/04/2019 Stockbridge Activity Center 305 W Elizabeth St, Stockbridge, MI 49285, USA 305 W Elizabeth St, Stockbridge, MI 49285, USA https://stockbridgecommunitynews.com/event/teen-center-open-house/ NEW TEEN CENTER OPENING SOON!!! by Samantha Young & Bonnie Davidson, Crossroads Community Church Student Ministry Directors Crossroads Community Church is proud to present our new Stockbridge Teen Center, which will be held in the Stockbridge Activity Center (SAC) at 305 W Elizabeth Street. Our goal is to have the Teen Center Open M-F from 2:30-5:30 for students in grades 6-12. It will offer them a fun, safe environment for doing homework (with the assistance of HS Honor Society students), participate in both indoor/outdoor activities, play video/other games, have snacks and interact with other students and adults who care about them. This will be a healthy alternative to walking around town or being alone until parents get home from work. Hours of operation will be dependent upon adult volunteers but we don’t foresee that being an issue. We’ve had so much positive feedback from our community and people want to be involved. The Teen Center hours of operation will strictly be for students to hang out and have positive interaction. Crossroads will be holding their Youth Group there on Wednesday evenings from 6 pm-8 pm for any students (grades 6-12) who want to come…all are welcome! A special Thank You to Mike/Leah Dalton and Ed/Lori Zick for allowing us to have this opportunity. It truly takes a community to make this happen and we’re thankful for all the support we’ve received so far. There will be an Open House on September 4 from 12 pm-5 pm, with access at the front West entrance of the building, as well as the back of the building. This is a dream we’ve had for many years and we’re thrilled to see it become a reality!	5 Thinking Thursdays (AGES 8-15) 4:00 pm-5:30 pm 09/05/2019 Stockbridge Library 200 S Wood St, Stockbridge, MI 49285, USA 200 S Wood St, Stockbridge, MI 49285, USA https://stockbridgecommunitynews.com/event/thinking-thursdays-ages-8-15/ You be the inventor with self-guided, hands-on activities from CADL’s Library of Things collection and other materials.

From September 25 to October 23, this five-week program will be offered every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to noon at the Stockbridge Activity Center, located at 305 W Elizabeth Street in Stockbridge. Guiding Good Choices is an interactive program for parents of children in grades 4 through 8. In a lively and open atmosphere, parents will learn specific strategies to help their children avoid drug use and other adolescent problem behaviors, and develop into healthy adults. Parents will learn to set clear family guidelines on drugs, learn and practice skills to increase their children’s family involvement, and strengthen family bonds. Dr. J. David Hawkins and Dr. Richard F. Catalano of the University of Washington developed the Guiding Good Choices program. Their research has shown that when children are bonded to parents, school and non-drug using peers, they are less likely to become involved in drug use or other behavior problems. SRSLY and St. Joseph Mercy Chelsea are sponsors of the workshop. This series is free to attend, however, registration is required. Childcare is available upon request. Parents that attend all five sessions will be entered into a drawing to win a gift card. To register for the workshop or for more information, please visit www.srslystockbridge.org/ggc/ or contact Emily Griswold at 734-593-6806 or Emily.griswold@stjoeshealth.org.
