Our Mission
"Resilient Parent, Resilient Child" is a free program series offered to all families. The purposes of the series are: (1) to support parents with resources and information, (2) to connect parents to one another for support; and (3) to build resiliency in our community so that families thrive.
Our Team
This series has largely been made possible due to the Natick Public Schools, and Principal Rose Bertucci of the Natick High School, who have offered to host all programs at the new NHS building. The program series schedule has been put together by a team of volunteers and community representatives, with thanks to the following:
Rose Bertucci, NHS Principal
Tim Collins, Natick Public Schools Athletic Director
Rosemary Driscoll, President, Natick Education Foundation (NEF)
Jane Boyle, President, NHS PTSO
Katie Sugarman, Natick Together for Youth (NTY)
Karen Fossett, Program Director, SPARK Kindness, Inc.
Christine Guthery, President, SPARK Kindness, Inc.
