Outstanding Speaker Addresses Peer Issues

Last night in the Middle School, Michelle Kriebel delivered what may have been the best address to parents I have ever seen. For two solid hours, Michelle spoke passionately to approximately 30 Calvert School parents about child development, peer pressure, communication, and parenting. In her talk, entitled "But Everyone Else Is," Michelle spoke of the pressures children and adolescents face as they navigate social, academic, and technology waters. For several years, Michelle has visited with our 7th and 8th graders and then met with interested parents. I offer her my highest recommendation, and I urge parents to hear her if they have the opportunity in the future.
