We are counting down to the last day of School!

Tips For the Month of May


  1. Get a move on, It's National Physical Fitness & Sports Month! Prep your child for it—as well as your school's field day (May 18), a favorite spring event with kids everywhere—with some family recreation activities. Take walks after dinner, go on a weekend bike ride, or have chin-up contests on the monkey bars at a nearby playground. For more fitness ideas, check out letsmove.gov, fitness.gov, and presidentschallenge.org.
  2. Keep kids safe The weather has warmed up and school's almost out for the summer, which means kids will be spending more time outdoors. Give them a refresher course in safety whether they're bike riding, swimming, or playing indoors on game systems. For more tips, go to pta.org and click on “Topics: Child Safety.”
  3. Give props to your children's teachers As the school year winds down, encourage your children to write thank-you notes to their current teachers. Prompt younger kids with suggestions like “Something new I learned this year was…”or “My favorite part of this school year was….” 
    Teacher Appreciation Week is, May 7 to 11.
