We know that raising teenage girls can sometimes be a complex and nuanced process. This book is a great resource for understanding their world and how we, as parents, can best help them navigate their way to adulthood.

Guiding Teenage Girls Through The Seven Transitions Into Adulthood
By: Lisa Damour, Phd
This book is a must-read for any parent of a daughter. I wish I had read this 10 years ago when my daughter started her transition into adulthood. This book will help parents understand, connect and grow with their daughter and explain a lot of the confusing messages we get from our girls.

Ages 10-14 years 
We are also hosting a workshop for 10-14 year olds that will tackle feelings of anxiety through movement and dance.

Love Month - Have you seen our chain?

February is Love Month at Pegasus! Students have been writing little notes about love and we've been building our paper chain. Our goal was to have it big enough to make it all the way through Pegasus! It is growing by the day, but we still have a ways to go and we need everyone's help.  Stop by the reception desk to write your love note and we will add it to our growing chain!
