Maximus Indigo Vintor Light is 5 and was born in Doha, Qatar, and Tristan Phoenix Moon Light George is 7 and was born in La Ceiba, Honduras.
As you can imagine a favorite pastime of the Light family is traveling! Mr. Light has been to over 30 countries and has visited 40 states. In addition to being born out of the country, both of Mr. Light’s sons are on their second passports! This summer their family plans to travel to France, Germany, Hungry, Austria and Slovenia.
Mr. Light has been a teacher at the Fern Ridge Middle School since September of 2016 and has been a teacher for over 7 years. He has taught students grades 5th to 12th and coached soccer, volleyball, basketball and knowledge bowl. When asked what his favorite thing is about his job he told us, “middle schoolers are hilarious, a constant surprise, an endless wonder and still love to have fun.” Mr. Light enjoys teaching and says he will teach anybody, anywhere, anything. We want to thank Mr. Light for bringing his energy, enthusiasm and love for teaching to Fern Ridge Middle School!

The Child Center is presenting a series of four classes for parents on collaborative problem solving. Collaborative problem solving is an exciting model that teaches you and your child skills that will reduce meltdowns, increase positive relationships, and improve communications.
Parents with a child in elementary or middle school will find the strategies used in collaborative problem solving useful and effective. If you are struggling with your child’s challenging behaviors or are frustrated and searching for a more effective way to manage your child’s behavior, then collaborative problem solving could be the solution you are looking for.
The classes will be held at Elmira Elementary School from 6:00pm to 7:30pm starting on Thursday, October 25th. Dinner will be served and childcare provided during the class. This class is offered at no cost to families.
