Author Marty Kelley Visits 1st GradersThe first graders were delighted by a visit from children's author and illustrator Marty Kelley in early April. Kelley is an engaging speaker who talked the kids through the process of writing and illustrating a book. He got them thinking about how to create their own super books, and demonstrated illustration tools using an ipad. He made the kids laugh a lot and fielded questions from the audience including "how do you get this job?" and "how many books have you published?"

THANK YOU, PARENTS! This program was sponsored by Enrichment and would not be possible without your contributions to the CSA. |

The Addiction Inoculation:
Raising Healthy Kids in a Culture of Dependence with Jessica LaheyDover-Sherborn Challenge Success is delighted to welcome back New York Times bestselling author, educator, and D-S alumna Jessica Lahey to discuss her newest book The Addiction Inoculation: Raising Healthy Kids in a Culture of Dependence.
Wednesday, May 11, 2022 | 7 – 8:30 p.m. via Zoom
All children, regardless of their genetics, are at some risk for addiction—to alcohol and illicit substances, overuse or harmful use of social media, or other maladaptive and injurious behaviors. Jessica Lahey helps parents, caregivers, and educators understand the roots of addictive behaviors and identify who is most at risk for addiction while offering evidence-based strategies and practical tools adults need to understand, support, and educate resilient, addiction-resistant children. Her guidelines are age-appropriate and actionable—navigating a child’s risk for addiction, interpreting signs of early misuse, advice for broaching difficult conversations with children, why developing brains are especially at risk, and the mental health roots of these issues.
This program is a collaboration between Dover-Sherborn Challenge Success and Natick 180, with support from SPARK Kindness.
Copies of Jessica's books The Addiction Inoculation and The Gift of Failure are available from the library or for local purchase at Aesop's Fable Bookstore in Holliston. Register Now
