Fun Things to Keep the Learning Going This Summer
Summer Learning Opportunities in our Area
If you are looking for opportunities to keep your children engaged and learning, there are many available right here in Weatherford as well as in the Fort Worth area. Some are free and others have enrollment fees. Unfortunately, our district does not cover the costs of the enrollment fees, but I am including both just to share them all. Please know, I am not endorsing any particular one, I am just sharing information. If you know of others not in the newsletter, feel free to email me with the information, and I will gladly add it to the list. ccheshire@weatherfordisd.com
I hope all of you have a wonderful, restful summer full of fun and learning! Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to work with your children. What a blessing this year has been!
