Day treatment worker to be honored
ALEXANDRIA — A Campbell County Schools instructional assistant at the district's day treatment program will be named Employee of the Year today by the Kentucky Department of Justice.
Catherine Jewell, who has been an assistant at the Campbell County program since November 1998, was selected as the Eastern Division Day Treatment Employee of the Year. The program, in the Cold Spring Educational Facility on East Alexandria Pike, works with students with various behavioral and emotional problems. Students are referred to the program by their parents, schools or the courts.
Ms. Jewell will receive her honor at an awards program today in Lexington.
“School-Savvy Workshop” planned
COVINGTON — The Kenton County Public Library will host a “School-Savvy Workshop” from 10 a.m. to noon Sept. 9 at the Mary Ann Morgan Library, 502 Scott Blvd.
The free workshop will include back-to-school advice on how to ensure a successful year for your child from Beth Vachon, author of School-Savvy Parent: 365 Insider Tips To Help You Help Your Child. The discussion will include suggestions on how to ease separation anxiety, communicate with teachers, address sensitive issues, help with homework, establish routines, nurture children's socialization skills and enhance learning.
“No matter if it's kindergarten, junior high or high school, there is always anxiety about the transition into a new school year,” Ms. Vachon said. “If you talk with your children about what to ex pect, you may also discover what they fear.”
For registration, call 491-7610.
