General Information
Great Kids is a family-focused educational program for Sheboygan County parents with young children. Our mission is to affirm shared responsibility for parenting and to encourage social, economic, and religious efforts to maintain and strengthen relationships within families. Parents and preschool-aged children meet twice monthly (September through May) on the first and third Thursdays at St. Luke United Methodist Church in Sheboygan. Advance registration is required, and enrollment is limited. Please contact the church at 458-3461 for more information.

History
Through the help of the Family Resource Center, Beth Finch founded Great Kids in 1996. Beth was new to the area and looking for a place to meet with other parents to learn about parenting issues. Eventually the group disconnected from the Family Resource Center and became one of St. Luke's adult ministries. St. Luke continues to provide a venue for parents to meet on an ongoing basis and offers social support for both parents and children.

Rosemary G. Clarke Scholarship Fund
If you are unable to afford registration fees, financial assistance is available through the Rosemary G. Clarke Scholarship Fund. In February 1998, Joe and Denise Clarke established this scholarship fund after the birth of their stillborn daughter, Rosemary Grace. Denise was 38 weeks pregnant at the time and had no reason to believe there were any irregularities with her pregnancy. The people of Great Kids were a huge source of support for Denise and her family, offering meals, babysitting, and many hugs. The Clarke family used the memorial fund to establish this scholarship so that any parent, regardless of financial position and ability to pay, can have access to the support of such a close-knit group.
