Madison, WI 2015 Family Virtues

Something or Other Publishing is again sponsoring the Essential Family Virtues Program in Madison, WI.  Ten Madison, WI area families are invited to participate in a 10-session program of virtues-based discovery sessions. The program is designed to provide both a language and a practice for your family to enhance the expression and development of the natural virtues inherent in every child.  The program features:

  • Virtues classes for children 4-12 years of ageFamily Virtues
  • Parent Discussion Group
  • Family Virtues Guide book
  • Toddler Play-date for younger family members
  • “Let Your Virtues Shine” field trip

Approximately once a month, the ten families will meet to explore a virtue.  A field trip is planned for the tenth and final session, in which the children will practice the virtues they have cultivated over the course of the program as a service project.  Please email [email protected] for more information or to register for this program.
