Keeping Informed: Recent Mishawaka Educational News
- Athletics News - The Mishawaka football team made it all the way to the state championship game last year - for the first time since 1974! In a town flanked by such notable football teams as Notre Dame it is not surprising to find gifted athletes in the School City of Mishawaka.
- Parental Involvement - Mishawaka news recently ran an article that revealed the latest research confirms a positive link exists between good schools and strong parent involvement. With Mishawaka schools ranking high in the state of Indiana it would appear they have embraced this concept. It seems that while the many progressive programs incorporated into the district have combined to make it a successful place to learn – but they will never be a replacement for good old-fashioned parent involvement.

Chalk Talk: Parent Tips for Proper Television Viewing
For the most part – television viewing is like eating sweets; ‘everything in moderation’ is the best approach. Keep these tips handy as a reminder of when to and not to turn on the television. Make a list of channels that offer educational fare for all ages. Remember that different shows appeal to different age groups. Find a ‘family show’ that everyone will enjoy viewing. Make this a part of weekly family time. Be prepared to discuss what was seen in the show to extend the opportunity to use it as a learning experience. Trade television viewing time for study or chores. For example, for every time a child makes their bed or helps with dishes they get ten minutes of television viewing. Like it or not – every year there are popular shows that ‘all the kids watch’. Preview one or two that your children are begging to watch to ensure the appropriateness of the content – and then allow them to view these. No one wants to be ‘excluded’ at school – particularly when kids are repeating funny lines from a scene.
