We’re Schooling You This Month!

It’s maybe been a while since your feet walked into a classroom and your bottom touched the seat of a school desk chair! So we’re sending you back to school, parents. Get ready to learn in this month’s issue (but we promise you the learning will be much more fun that it was in high school!)

Gym Class – Don’t miss Dance Extreme’s page 2 for dance-inspired activities for you and your little one (ribbon wands and yoga poses and dance-offs sound awesome!)
English Class – Finally a poem you’ll want to study – Miz Marce talks about the love it takes to let go of someone on page 12.
History Class – We learn about International Women’s Day in page 15’s Our Mental Health column – how and why it began, and why you should be celebrating not only other women, but yourself, on this special day.
Health Class – It’s time to learn about supplemented foods and drinks (think caffeinated energy drinks, for example) – did you know that kids under 14 shouldn’t be consuming them? (page 14)
Math Class – We’re letting you off easy in math – Kenny Insurance will do all the work for you as they insure your new home! (page 9)
Family Studies Class – Dad-itude’s Jeremy McCall teaches that you don’t need to parent like your parents parented! Find Change Can Start With You on page 8.
Recess – Arm yourself (and your kids) with the ability to bounce back from negative opinions of others. Sara Westbrook is a wonderful professional speaker in schools and has offered her wisdom to you on page 17.

Here’s wishing you a marvelous month of learning and celebration! Happy Ramadan, Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Happy Spring and Happy Easter to all who are enjoying these times with family and friends. And one more announcement to make, students – don’t forget to spring those clocks ahead on March 10th!
