CELEBRATION is an eight lesson course for children 8½ to
12½, designed to help raise
their self images. CELEBRATION helps children by setting up a successful
environment for them to enjoy many growth experiences such as:
1. INCREASED SELF CONFIDENCE. They learn to see themselves as a more unique
valuable person.
2. DISCOVER NEW ABILITIES WITHIN THEMSELVES. They find new strengths and gain a
greater understanding of their special abilities.
3. LEARN HOW TO RELATE AND COMMUNICATE WITH OTHERS. They learn about their own
attitudes and how they influence the way people feel about them.
4. DEAL WITH ANGER. They learn why they get angry and how to handle it in a
creative way.
5. GREATER ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND AND HANDLE PROBLEMS. They learn that everyone
has
problems and makes mistakes. They discover positive ways to solve problems.
6. DEVELOP GOAL SETTING SKILLS. They learn to set meaningful objectives in
school,
play, family and their special interests. |
| The Pikes Peak church of Christ sponsored this course in
January and February 2007. The final class session for our 14 students
was a graduation dinner with speeches made by each participant. Each
talk covered the child's favorite class topic, memory verse and how they
will put in practice what they've learned. |

Special thanks to Larry and Martha Grizzell and their
grand-daughter Lauren for their excellent work teaching this class! |
 |
Larry congratulates Bethany, presenting her award for being
selected as the "Most Improved" by her classmates. |
  
These benefits will show up in many areas of the child's life, such as making
better grades, mixing with other children more freely, being more cooperative at
home, doing better in sports, and other activities and having more
self discipline.
  
The children receive manuals, cassettes and several other colorful materials.
They
also receive awards, diplomas and other exciting printed pieces.
  
The classes are conducted in a totally non-critical atmosphere. The children are
never put down or made to feel that they have failed. The children are
constantly
encouraged, built-up and made to feel important. They grow more confident and
capable of dealing with peer pressure.
Adventures in Celebration is taught by Larry and Martha
Grizzell of Lake George, Colorado, both faithful members of the Lord's church.
