April 2017

The Monticello High School Post Prom Planning Committee is in the process of planning the 2017 Post Prom Party. This year the party, to be held following the Junior Prom on Saturday, April 29, 2017, will be held at the Monticello High School. The students will be spending the night enjoying pizza, soda and a variety of activities, including a lazer tag course and photo booth setup by Ultrazone from Madison. The committee is dependent upon donations to help with providing a fun event and to keep our students safe during prom night.

A Montesian Gardens meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 25, 2017, at 7:00 p.m., at the Monticello Village Hall.
Anyone with a flower bed, or who would like to help with keeping the gardens looking good, is invited to attend. If you have any questions, please call John at (608) 214-0294.

Parents Who Host Lose The Most, that’s what the Belleville Police Department and the Belleville Area Cares Coalition wants to remind the families of Southern Dane County as the party season swings into motion. With prom and graduation comes celebration and parties. But today we are reminding adults that a party shouldn’t include supplying or turning a blind eye to kids drinking at your home. If an adult knows, or (in many communities in Wisconsin) is deemed that they should have known that underage drinking is going on at their home they could be liable.

Is it just a phase or a serious problem? Is my child coping well with life’s ups and downs? Is my child’s behavior normal or is there a serious problem that I am not aware of? These are a few of the many questions faced by parents. Our children face many demands that create stress. These demands often come from outside sources, such as family, jobs, friends, or school. But it also can come from within, often related to what they think they should be doing versus what they’re actually able to do.
