While it seems like summer break just started, it won’t be long before school begins again, which makes this a good time to sit down with your kids to choose a few things they can accomplish before summer ends.
School’s out, the little tykes have been on vacation for a week, and they’re already bored. How are you going to make it to August? Here are some ideas on how parents and children can get through the summer and have a good time doing it just by planning fun things to do every day. It’s easier than you think.
Besides giving kids a fun place to beat the summer heat with games, activities, computers, drama, music, and academic enrichment, the Summer Food Service Program at Heritage Glendale will provide nutritious meals, from May 22 to July 14, so kids are healthy and ready to learn when they return to school in the fall. No registration or fees required, open to the public.
It’s May, which means that preschoolers, kindergarteners, and 8th graders will be graduating, and every student will be making the transition from school to summer break.
Join us this Saturday! Participants start the run wearing a white T-shirt, and, after running through powerful pops of color, cross the finish line in tie-dyed splendor. The May 6 Color Run is always a fun day for kids and adults alike, with all proceeds going to support Heritage Glendale.
Moms and mother figures of students in kindergarten and 1st grade are invited to a Mother’s Day Tea on May 11, at 2 p.m. Join your young lady or gentleman student for tea sandwiches, light refreshments, and dessert.
Summer vacation is coming, and that means the little ones will be at your side 24/7. Before that happens, we’re offering the opportunity for some well-deserved quiet time.

The droghte of march hath perced to the roote,

Of which vertu engendred is the flour
The development of good reading skills in early childhood is the best predictor of future academic and financial success. The earlier kids learn to read, the better. The challenge is, not to teach kids to read, but to create an environment where kids will learn to love reading.

March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. A lot has changed in the 30 years since Ronald Reagan proclaimed the first Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month in 1987. The main change has come in education which, until fairly recently, had no cohesive plan for teaching the developmentally disabled.
