Parents of 9-12 year olds - The Connection Club is taking registration now!

The Connection Club is a supportive, skills-based group designed for children ages 9–12 who were just starting school or in the early grades during the pandemic shut-down and may have missed key opportunities to develop social skills in formative years. Many children experienced disrupted peer groups, lost social cues, and fewer chances to practice important skills like turn-taking, sharing space, and building healthy relationships.

This group will focus on strengthening communication and social skills to help children build confidence and foster more positive connections with others.

🎃 Happy Halloween from FSG! 👻

Last Friday, FSG board members Karen Rogatz and Dave Barta brought some spooky fun to the FSG table at last Friday’s Boo Bash, hosted by the Park District !

They had a frightfully fun time doing puzzles, playing games, coloring Halloween pictures, and mingling with so many wonderful community members.

FSG loved being part of this spirited event, and seeing so many smiling faces and creative costumes!
