Tom Thelen Visit
From their website: "Tom Thelen is one of America’s top anti-bullying speakers. He has spoken at over 500 schools, colleges, and youth organizations teaching students how to break free from the victim mindset and how to stand up to bullying. Tom has been featured on FOX, PBS, CBS, The National Honor Society, and The National Association of Student Councils.
As an anti-bullying speaker, Tom gives students practical strategies to “be the change” on their campus. His message takes them on a journey through his own life story including an intervention program he experienced as a teen and how he learned to make positive life choices. Tom is a gifted motivator who relates to teens with stories that touch the heart and make them laugh. His high-energy school assembly programs create a defining moment for schools and provide an experience students never forget. Tom lives in Michigan with his wife Casie and their four children."

At Home
Something is waiting for many children every summer, and their parents don’t even know it’s out there. It's called the "summer slide," and it describes what happens when young minds sit idle for three months. Children who do not read over the summer could lose more than two months of reading achievement. Here are some ways to keeps your child reading over the summer:
Continue using RAZ Kids and Headsprouts. If you don't already know your child's log-in information, please ask your child's teacher.
Combine activities with books. Summer leaves lots of time for kids to enjoy fun activities, such as going to the park, seeing a movie, or going to the beach. Why not also encourage them to read a book about the activity?
Visit the library. If your child doesn't have a library card, summer is a great time to sign up for one. Check your local public library for information about their summer reading programs.
Read aloud with kids. Take your children to see a local storyteller or be one yourself!
Help kids find time to read. After all the fun things kids like to do during the summer, children may be too tired to pick up a book. When planning summer activities, remember to leave some time in their schedules for reading. Some convenient times may be before bedtime or over breakfast.
