Hello parents,
We honor the opportunity to assist you as your children grow in Christ. Therefore, it is with regret we are informing you of an ongoing situation during J/CYO meetings that the church needs your help with.
Youth are leaving the main area and activities to go “hang out” in the bathroom. There have been several repeat offenders. In and of itself this is not necessarily a terrible thing and we have been able to redirect students back to the main area. This last Sunday we found the kids throwing water on the mirror and walls, turning the light out in the bathroom when others were using the restroom, and throwing wet paper towels on the air vents in the ceiling, then we found plastic cups in the toilet, and yellow liquid all over the floor in the stall.
The parish custodian has asked that J/CYO ensure that the restrooms are better taken care of. This past Sunday was by far the worst that it has been and is no longer at the point the situation can be fixed without your help.
Please have a serious talk with your family on acceptable behavior for J/CYO. Please remind them to respect volunteer leaders, fellow students in the group, and the church property. We are gathering ideas on how to assist youth on respecting volunteers, each other, and church property during J/CYO. We are available for further discussions on this subject if any families feel the need. Please feel welcome to share ideas and concerns.
We would very much appreciate your help and love the opportunity to serve.
Thank you.
Wayne
