Parent Perusals
April 18, 2019
A Note from Kimberly
I look forward to this time of the year when the weather warms up and the pace slows down a little because it's the simple things like making Easter dirt cake with my girls that boosts my energy and reminds me how blessed I am.
As you approach this Easter season and weekend, I do hope you find the time to do something simple to boost your energy and help you focus on your blessings.
In this edition of Parent Perusals, I've shared some Easter/Spring family activities that are not only fun, but are also "tricky" ways to keep your kids engaged and learning while having fun!
Don't forget to check out the upcoming parent training offerings here at ESC-20. There are only 7 remaining this school year!
