LEVITTOWN, PA — For the first time in more than 18 months, the Bristol Township School District's Family Nights will soon resume to taking place in-person. District officials announced Monday that the Family Night event that takes place the first Wednesday of every month will take place next week. The events are meant to focus on family well-being and are hosted by the Family to Family initiative, a cooperative Bucks County program of the county's children and youth services department and the Family Service Association of Bucks County. November's Family Night event, "Praising Children" will be held from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Nov. 3 at Brookwood Elementary School. Family Night is a free evening complete with a parent/educator- led discussion about using positive praise as a discipline technique, supervised children's activities and an engaging parent-child craft to make and take home. The event is the first to be held in-person since the coronavirus pandemic began last March. The November Family Night will also feature a Thanksgiving theme for story time and crafts, organizers said. "Family Nights are designed to promote parent-child interaction, development-centered parenting, and family well-being. Our parent educators provide families with skills and resources to strengthen families," Rachel Minton, M.Ed., Family Strengthening Program Coordinator at Family Service said in a news release.
