You are invited to participate in a very special event, taking place on Thursday, October 15th at Tolland Middle School. On this date, the Board of Education will be hosting a Community Conversation: Raising Resilient Kids in Tolland. The conversation is meant to open a door to dialogue with community members about how the schools and larger community can work together to make Tolland a great place to grow up!

· What should growing up in Tolland be like?

· How do we create the experience we want for kids?

· In an era of “everyone gets a trophy” how do kids learn to cope with challenging situations and emotions?

This conversation only works if we have YOUR voice!

The evening schedule will be:

Thursday, October 15th, Tolland Middle School Cafeteria
6:00-6:30 - Registration/Refreshments
6:30-7:00 - Welcome & Overview
7:00-8:30 - Facilitated Small Group Break-out Sessions

Who needs to be there? Empty-nesters, Parents, Senior Citizens, Business people, Town employees, Educators, Parents, Students, Clergy, Adults without children, Lifelong Tolland residents, Residents new to town. We ALL have a role to play in creating the kind of community that we want Tolland to be.
