Noon - 2 pm, we'll have a space for check-in to get tags to identify you as AFFGS members. There will be drinks, and some healthy snacks there. As you wander around the farm, feel free to introduce yourself when you see the AFFGS tags.

Take a scenic country drive to the Snohomish Valley and visit Craven Farm. The farm offers a unique and beautiful setting for the AFFGS Harvest Festival. A 15-acre corn maze offers a fun challenge to kids of all ages. Take a tractor- pulled hay ride, visit the farm animals, browse the gift shops and check out the snack shack. Don't forget to test your aim at the pumpkin slinger, have your face painted, and choose the perfect Halloween pumpkin in the Craven Pumpkin Patch! Wild outfits are encouraged!

We provide snacks and all training materials, including lots of resources for parents to take home. The workshop can be tailored to the specific needs and interests of the parents participating -- we can focus more on school-age kids, preschool kids, or whatever parents need.

The workshop teaches parents how to advocate for their children in school. Parents learn their rights in regard to getting special services for their kids such as special education, speech therapy, etc. They learn how to deal with disciplinary actions, enrollment, and other topics. They receive empowering coaching and practical information that allow them to approach education professionals in their children's lives with confidence and knowledge.

Meeting is free for AFFGS members.

This workshop is supported by Treehouse (a local agency that provides services for foster families and adoptive parents).

Those who are licensed foster parents will receive credit toward the new in-service training requirements.
