What is this class all about?
How parents handle the divorce can make it better or worse for their children. Many children have a very difficult time adjusting to their parents’ divorce. This can lead to depression, anxiety, academic failure, delinquency, drug use, teen pregnancy, and other negative outcomes. Children may also fear the loss of one or both of their parents and have a hard time switching between their parents’ homes.
Co-parenting classes teach parents to handle their emotions better and to keep their children out of the middle of their divorce. They also offer many positive tips on how to talk with your child to help him or her to adjust more quickly to the divorce. Researchers who have studied the effects of these classes have found them to be beneficial for most parents.
To help you decide if you should apply to be a Master Gardener ask yourself these questions:
Do I want to learn more about the culture and maintenance of many types of plants?
Am I eager to participate in a practical and intense training program?
Do I look forward to sharing my knowledge with people in my community?
Do I have enough time to attend training and to serve as a volunteer?
If you answered yes to these questions, the Master Gardener program could be for you. For more information, view the 2023 Master Gardener application.

Just a reminder as 2022 comes to a close, we depend on your support for our ongoing improvements to the neighborhood. Did you remember to pay your dues in 2022?? If not please reach out to us as your contribution each year allows us to accomplish many things!
Dues cover our neighborhood expenses from January – December each year.
When are my neighborhood dues to be paid? We would love it if all dues were paid at the start of the calendar year but we understand that life gets busy sometimes. Please consider paying as early in the year as your budget will allow so that we can make great plans for the upcoming years improvements.
What do my dues pay for? Mowing and Landscaping at our Entrances, Website, Post Office Box Rental, Electric Bills for Lighting at Entrances and Events like Neighbors Night Out.
What is the neighborhood association currently working on? Electrical boxes are now installed at Harvest Hills Rd entrance and N McKee Blvd entrance. We are waiting for OG & E and we should have lights before the end of the year! This is all possible with the neighborhood’s support. Please help support the neighborhood!
I am not sure if you saw the post regarding an abduction that supposedly happened at Harvest Hills Rd and Wilshire. This post was placed on Nextdoor. I was very concerned and contacted the police department to get details since it is in our neighborhood. I was told that we are safe and that the post has little merit. I do have details, but I am not in a position to release that information, but rest assured we are safe and no one is trying to abduct anyone in the neighborhood.
If you ever have any concerns about things you see posted about our neighborhood, please let me know, so I can find out the true facts. Not everything posted on the internet is true and this is not the first time someone has posted something on Nextdoor about Harvest Hills South. We need to be careful when posting and responding to these types of posts. Sometimes people post these things with good intentions, but it is hearsay and they do not know all the facts, so it causes people to react and draw conclusions when it is not warranted. The story then grows and grows. This is why you are not seeing it on the news.
Sometimes people post things just to get a reaction. They want to scare people, thinking it is fun. I will be the first to notify the neighborhood when there is something of concern regarding Harvest Hills South. If you ever witness anything you need to call 911 immediately before you post anything anywhere.
We are also getting closer to the holidays and need to be aware that people will try to tug at heart strings to gain your trust and your money. Times are changing and not always for the better. Please just beware.
We need your help in locating a lost 4 month old kitten. Her name is Fiona. She got out on Friday at 8305 N Mckee Blvd. The weather is getting really cold and so she is probably hiding to keep warm. If you see her please let me know, so I can notify the owner.
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT! The current patrollers have been patrolling for more than four years. We have lost several patrollers due to moving out the neighborhood, health reasons and changes in Job responsibilities. We have been very fortunate that over the years we have minimized REPORTED crime.
