Mesa Public School's Parent University offers free classes on a variety of issues: from teaching kids about money to suggestions for helping a child with special needs. You can also register for a storytime class you take with your child, a friend of mine loved it when she took it last year. We've gone to a couple of classes so far and have been really impressed. High-quality classes--for free. So go find something to help you be a better parent and register quick before spots fill up! Go here and view the flyer and register for this springs' classes.

Parent U has a story telling series on Thursday evenings for the whole family. We went to the one they had last semester and it was awesome, we left with a free book each week.
