Peters Township recently released the following announcements.

How to Help Your Children Pursue Their Natural Gifts

When: Sunday, April 10

Time: 1 – 2 p.m.

Presented by: Nancy Jean Morrison

Every child has special gifts that begin to emerge as early as four or five years of age, which parents and caregivers are in the unique position of observing and nourishing. Identifying a young person’s talents can mean the difference between surviving the turbulent adolescent years or drowning in them. This presentation is designed to help parents and caregivers discover and nourish the talents of those under their care.

Celebrating Shakespeare

When: Saturday, April 23, 2016

Time: 1 – 2 p.m.

Presented by: Jane Hollman

Celebrate the life and works of William Shakespeare. On this 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, we are going to talk about his life and his work.
