Gerry Vassar, President and CEO of Lakeside Educational Network accepts a check from Ron Bernstein, Executive Director of Foundations Community Partnership, Doylestown, PA.
The check was awarded to Lakeside Educational Network through the Foundations Community Partnership’s Bucks Innovation and Improvement Grant for the development of Lakeside's online training programs for parents. The grant will assist in the design, testing, filming and streaming of the programs. Once complete, the programs will be available to the parents of Lakeside students and will provide training and skill development that parents can use as they develop a relationship with their child and/or teenager. Each session will provide teaching and include exercises to practice new parenting skills. The programs will also go online and be made available to the public for a per-course fee.
"We believe there is a demand for regional online parenting education," said Vassar. “With the generosity of the Foundations Community Partnership we can now help thousands of families.
