EGUSD's Department of Family and Community Engagement is once again partnering with Delta Prevention for another series of classes being held each Tuesday. Stre...ngthening Families is not a parenting class, it's a fun, family skill building series that parents and their kids do TOGETHER! For the first hour each week, parents join a class and the kids join a separate class. Then, for the second hour, everyone is together playing games, doing activities and PRACTICING SKILLS! There’s still time to sign up! More Information: https://www.deltaprevention.org/
