January 2013


Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!  January 2013 is here, and we're getting back into the swing of things at JELV Family Resource Center.  We are ready for a new year full of possibilities!

Although the snow is pretty, it can bring some nasty sicknesses!  If your child is showing signs of illness such as sore throat, excessive cough, skin rash, a fever above 100 degrees, vomiting, or diarrhea, please keep your child at home and seek appropriate medical attention.  Children have to be FEVER FREE for at least 24 hours WITHOUT medication before they are allowed back at school.  This is to prevent the spreading of illnesses.

Drum Roll Please!!!
We are excited to announce that A Night of Pirate Fun will be held at the Village on January 17th from 5:00PM to 7:00PM.  Come dressed in your best pirate clothing and get ready for a fun evening full of pirate schemes for the whole family!
***Can you guess what a pirate's favorite letter is?  You think it be "R", but it be the "C"!

Below, we've listed some helpful information and resources.  If you cannot find the information or resources that you need, please feel free to call the FRC or stop by for assistance!
