Wishing Success
to all 2014 Grads
Discuss finances and
establish a financial
arrangement. Many college
freshmen struggle to manage
their money. Some might
never have had a job during
high school while others who
did work only did so to earn
spending money. But many
college students need more
than spending money once
they reach campus.
Rising tuition costs have
made it difficult, if not impos-
sible, for parents to bankroll
their kids everyday expenses.
As a result, many college stu-
dents find themselves forced
to manage their own money
for the first time in their lives.
Parents can teach simple
financial lessons, such as the
benefits of buying groceries
as opposed to dining out or
ordering in each night.
College is also where many
young men and women first
sign up for a credit card.
Parents can teach their kids
the basics of managing credit,
such as the benefit of paying
off a balance before interest
rates kick in and the negative
ramifications of missing pay-
ments.
Parents who can afford to
provide financial support for
their children enrolled in col-
lege should reach a financial
agreement with their children
before they are off to college.
Make sure kids know your
financial support does not
mean they have unlimited
access to your funds, and
make it known that such sup-
port will not continue if kids
arent performing well in the
classroom.
Encourage kids to con-
tact any roommates before
the school year begins. Part
of the trepidation many kids
have when leaving for college
concerns how they may or
may not develop a relation-
ship with their new room-
mate. Many schools assign
roommates months in
advance of the school year,
giving kids ample time to
make contact and make
arrangements about whom is
going to bring certain items,
such as a television or coffee
pot or even furniture if the
room can fit any.
Parents should encourage
such contact so kids can get a
feel of who they will be living
with and lay the groundwork
for a friendship before they
even step foot on campus.
The feeling of knowing some-
one on campus can greatly
reduce the anxiety many kids
feel when they arrive at
school for their freshmen ori-
entation.
The day a student leaves for
college is a significant day for
parents and students alike.
Parents can take a number of
steps to make the transition to
college easier for their col-
lege-bound son or daughter.
Many of this years high
school graduates will be leav-
ing home for a college cam-
pus in the fall. Such a depar-
ture is often bittersweet for
kids and parents alike. Young
men and women typically
look forward to the freedom
and independence that college
life can provide, but those
same men and women know
they will miss the familiarity
of home as well.
Parents, too, have mixed
emotions when kids head to
college, as their sadness over
a child leaving home is met
with the pride they feel that
the child they raised is setting
out to make their own way in
the world.
Few moments in life
involve such significant
change as the moment when a
young man or woman first
arrives on a college campus.
First-year college students
often dont know what to
expect once they arrive on
campus, but there are steps
parents can take to help their
kids prepare for college life.
Teach kids how to sched-
ule their time. One of the
things many college kids find
once they arrive on campus is
that their life is suddenly
much less structured and their
amount of downtime has
increased considerably.
Unlike high school, which
keeps many kids in class or
involved in extracurricular
activities from the early
morning through the late
afternoon, college affords stu-
dents much more free time,
which is theirs to use as they
see fit. Some kids dive right
into on-campus activities,
while others struggle to use
their free time to their advan-
tage.
Parents can teach time
management skills such as
how to establish a schedule so
all of that free time does not
go to waste. This schedule
can be adjusted on a weekly
basis depending on course-
work or extracurricular activ-
ities. Once kids learn to man-
age their time effectively,
including using breaks
between classes to review
notes from a recent lecture or
upcoming class, theyre likely
to get the most out of them-
selves academically and find
they have more time to pursue
extracurricular activities as
well.

Ann's Bright Beginnings preschoolers were recently visited by
Mrs. Beth Schweinsberg from the Animal Clinic and her Boston
Terrier, Booster. She told us about her job and how she helps our

seeing all of his tricks. Shown here with Mrs. S and Booster are
the children in the morning class of four and young five year olds.

After reading the story Thunder Cake by
Patricia Polacco, second graders in Mrs.
Bailey's class made their own thunder cake.
Students mixed the ingredients together as
thunder sound clips rumbled over them.

recipe, tells the story of a grandmother who
finds a way to dispel her grandchild's fear of
thunderstorms. Pictured here are Caydence
Shull, Collette Starbuck and Lizzy Zartman.
