Welcome Back
"There can be no vulnerability without risk; there can be no community without vulnerability; there can be no peace, and ultimately no life, with-
out community." - Scott Peck
Being the first newsletter of 2016, we hope everyone enjoyed a safe and mer-ry holiday season. My staff and I battled through all the snow Mother Nature handed us in order to host an extremely successful Spring Ori-entation, where we welcomed students and families into the S k y h a w k family. I am pleased
to say that we saw a 20% increase in participation from last year which means we were able to help more stu-dents have a successful transition to FLC. I personally want to thank eve-ryone who was involved with this pro-gram – we could not do it without you. Mark Mastalski, Director

Communication is a key part to building a healthy re-lationship. The first step is making sure you both want and expect the same things -- being on the same page is very important. The following tips can help you cre-ate and maintain a healthy relationship:
Speak Up. In a healthy relationship, if something is bothering you, it’s best to talk about it instead of holding it in.
Respect Your Partner. Your partner's wishes and feelings have value. Let your significant other know you are making an effort to keep their ideas in mind. Mutual respect is essential in maintaining healthy relationships.
Compromise. Disagreements are a natural part of healthy relationships, but it’s important that you find a way to compromise if you disagree on something. Try to solve conflicts in a fair and rational way.
Be Supportive. Offer reassurance and encourage-ment to your partner. Also, let your partner know when you need their support. Healthy relationships are about building each other up, not putting each other down.
Respect Each Other’s Privacy. Just because you’re in a relationship, doesn’t mean you have to share everything and constantly be together. Healthy relationships require space.
