PROJECT PAT Project PAT (Parents are Teachers) is a new program for parents and their preschool age children. The Community Education Department in District No. 11 has initiated the project to meet the expressed needs of Anoka-Hennepin area families. Parents and educators are discovering that a child's first years are very important to his or her overall development. As a childs first teacher, parents play an extremely important role in their child's development. PAT helps parents understand their child's development stages and provides resources for parents. to assist in their child's physical, mental, emotional and social growth. By keeping parents involved as a teacher, PAT helps foster positive parent/child relationships in the family and helps to build feelings of confidence, support, motivation and self worth. At PAT, parents and children learn together through active participation. The program involves four phases: 1) Orientation Phase 2) Play Phase 3) Observation Phase and 4) Discussion Group Phase. If you would like to learn more about Project PAT, please call L.O.Jacob Community School at 755-1850. HALLOWEEN CELEBRATION HELD The second annual Halloween Celebration was held at Ramsey School on October 31st. Over 750 people participated in the festivities which included a spookhouse, costume contest, bake sale, pie- eating contest, a variety of other games and activities for parents and their children. Another part of the evening was a Teen Dance at the Ramsey Municipal Center featuring live music, refreshments and door prizes. The evening was planned and organized by a hard.. working committee of people representing various organizations in Ramsey such as the Lions, Jaycees, Jaycee Women, 4-H Clubs, Community School Advisory Council, Scouting organizations and other individual volunteers. The committee was headed again this year by Karol Andreasen. Mrs. Andreasen and the entire Halloween Committee would like to thank all the merchants and businesses in Ramsey whose contributions helped make the event a tremendous success. Cash donations from many businesses helped to defer the cost of the evenings activities. The event is planned not as a fund raising activity, but simply as a chance for people to celebrate Halloween with their families and their community. JAYCEE WOMEN UPDATE This fall has been a busy time for the Ramsey Jaycee Women. In September we held Ramsey's second Red Cross Bloodmobile at City Hall. Thanks to you, the citizens of Ramsey, it was a ~uccess. Also in September we were selling candy for the Kidney Foundation. We still have some left, if you would like some Tootsie Treats. In October we held a grocery raffle for a $50 certificate at Bob's. The lucky winner was Bruce Roggatz. Congratulations Bruce! We also donated some items to a shelter for battered women in Anoka County. They are still in need of linens, toys, and ladies and childrens clothing. Please let us know if you have something you would like to donate. While doing these things we were all busy making items for our first Christmas Boutique, Bake and Plant Sale held November 8th. We were very pleased with the number of people who came out to see what we had. Up-coming events: Cystic Fibrosis Bowl-a-thon at Super Bowl, November 23, Poison Prevention Program at Ramsey School in February, Babysitting Clinic in the spring- . Goals: We have made no commitment for our funds, but we do have a couple of ideas. One is landscaping or playground equipment at Titetud Park. The other is to purchase a "Recess-a- Baby" for the CPR classes put on by the Ramsey Police Department. Needless to say, neither one will be possible without your continued support of our projects. If you have suggestions of things you would like to see done in or for Ramsey, please let us know. Weare small in number - only 11 -and can use more interested, caring women in Ramsey to help. If you are concerned about your community, your children, other children, making new friends, please check us out. We meet the 2nd Thursday of each month at the Ramsey Municipal Building (City Hall) at 7 p.m. Please come to a meeting or for further information call Sylvia Gamec, 421-7615 or Sharon Grahs, 427-4262.
