Note from the Publisher ~ The Unofficial Start to Summer

May 24, 2016
Wow. That's about all I can say to the fact that Memorial Day Weekend is here. Hard to believe, especially with this crazy, un-springlike weather we've been having. But, regardless, pools are opening, State Park beaches are opening and kids are done with school. Even if they aren't technically done, I'm pretty sure they are done mentally! 

Next week's newsletter will be our Summer Fun edition with everything you need to get you through the next few months including summer reading programs, VBS guide, summer movie schedules and our popular 101 things to do this summer. Our goal? Zero bored kids for you to have to contend with. 

But for this week we want you to enjoy the long, holiday weekend. And, no matter where you are or what you do, take a little time to be thankful this Memorial Day for those who served our country so bravely to protect our freedom. Here is a fantastic article about how to celebrate Memorial Day with your kids. Talk about your family's history with the military if there is one, do a patriotic craft, and wear your red, white and blue proudly to help kids understand Memorial Day is lot more than a day off of a school. 

Peace, Love and Macaroni
