Mitchell Middle School
2000 Future Avenue
Anywhere, State 11111

Dear Parents:

This fall we are pleased to sponsor an exciting research-based video and discussion workshop called Families In Action. This program offers an effective and unique approach to improving parent-teen interaction.

Involving parents and their teens, Families In Action explores ways to communicate effectively, resolve conflicts, and discuss such difficult topics as violence, drugs, alcohol, and sex. The information and skills taught are designed to develop responsible, cooperative teens who are better equipped to resist peer pressure.

Millions of parents across the country have already benefited from Active Parenting courses. Now, here's a program designed to involve your teen in solving family problems, and preventing new ones.

We are fortunate to have (name) leading the parents group, and (name) to lead the teens group. Each participant will receive a book, which includes activities and guidesheets reinforcing and expanding on skills and concepts from each of the six sessions. The last half-hour of each session will allow teens and parents to come together to discuss and practice what they have learned.

In order to provide the best possible environment, we're limiting registration to 20 people. To register, call us, e-mail us, or mail the enclosed form to us as soon as possible so you won't miss out.

We are looking forward to a terrific group! If you have any questions, please call 770-555-2222 or send e-mail to denise@mmschoo.com.

Sincerely,

Denise Meyers
Principal
