MIDLOTHIAN - In effort to keep families spending time together in this ever fast
moving world we call life, the Midlothian Independent School District will be
hosting a "Family Dinner Night" on Thursday, Sept. 30 at the Midlothian High
School cafeteria from 6-8 p.m.
According to the news release sent out from the district, studies show the more
often families eat together, the less likely kids are to smoke, drink, do drugs,
get depressed, develop eating disorders and suicide and the more likely they are
to do well in school, delay having intercourse, eat vegetables and know which
fork to use.
The goal of the event is to encourage families to continue to eat meals
together.
The event will include free food, a guest speaker and prizes. Families are
encouraged to RSVP with the district as soon as possible.
