  • This Month's Activities

    Hello! Please check off all the events for which you would like to join us this month.

    Parents' Night Out is a site- and community-based program that provides children and teens with events that provide them with the opportunity to interact with their peers. In the meantime, parents and guardians are afforded time for themselves.
     
    This form is only for families who have already registered with Advancing Opportunities. If you are interested in participating in Parents' Night Out, please contact Jennifer Palmer, at jpalmer@advopps.org.

    You can also reach Jennifer Palmer at the office at, 973-426-1522, ext. 113. During PNO events, she can be reached on the PNO cell, at 973-580-7937. Please register as early in the month as possible to allow for staffing arrangements.
    By popular request, we will be having a “Keyboard Night” tonight, so I will bring all the piano-related equipment I have. Those of you who take lessons, please bring your sheet music if you would like to play for us. If it doesn’t rain, we will finally have some playground time—so wear a jacket & bring gloves. We’ll also have our usual art supplies, toys, and games.

    Today, we will gather with our friends for an afternoon of listening to music, creating crafts, playing with construction toys and games, and socializing together. If the weather is dry, we will go outside on the playground or take a walk, but it might be muddy, so boots are recommended. Dress in layers for the weather.
