Westfield Parents Invited to Learn How to 'Raise Beautiful Girls' at Middle School Seminar

The Edison Intermediate School Counseling Department of the Westfield Public Schools invites parents, caregivers and the community to attend “Raising a Beautiful Girl” on Wednesday, February 25, at 7:00 pm in the school’s auditorium, 800 Rahway Ave, Westfield.

This seminar, presented by the Hance Family Foundation, is designed to provide adults with practical tools that can be used to nurture and educate their girls, while enhancing their self-esteem & coping skills. There is no fee associated with this program; it is provided as a gift from the Hance Family Foundation.

The Hance Family Foundation was founded by Jackie and Warren Hance whose three daughters were tragically killed in a car accident on July 26, 2009. They established the foundation with the intention to honor their daughters through the gift of education. The foundation’s central project is called BEAUTIFUL ME…. The Emma, Alyson and Katie Hance Project.

The mission of the project is to extend the lessons that their daughters taught through their examples. These lessons include being comfortable with who you are, increased positive body awareness, improved problem solving skills and to help build healthy relationship skills.
