A New Spin on Parent Meetings


This semester Ozone Ministries used the old “Bring Your Child to Work Day” formula and turned it on it’s head. Instead of a student donning his cleanest button down and tie and stepping into the office, parents were the ones experiencing a new environment.
Beginning with Lifeline on January 21, “Bring Your Parent to Club” invited parents to join in with their children during club, to play and learn as the child does, and then be informed about Ozone amidst the fun of being a kid for an hour and a half. “Bring Your Parent to Club” days continued on January 24th and 26th with the Primetime and Ozone meetings.
Each club represented what a usual meeting looks like, full of games, energy and learning, but as students separated for small group discussions, parents joined together for a short, informational meeting with the directors. The past semester, with all of it’s joys, changes and successes, was discussed, followed by the future of Camp War Eagle 365. Parents learned more about programs available to them and their children, and even how they can serve Ozone!
“Bring Your Parent to Club” was a successful way to blend fun and information and will without a doubt happen again in the future!
