This Weeks Theme: Pencil Week

As everyone starts their school year, kids are excited to see their best buds on a daily basis, take some new classes, and wear their new school clothes and backpack. Parents on the other hand, are looking forward to having some 'time off', while the kids are busy learning. But this week's theme, is all about staying involved with your kids extracurricular activites. The more you are involved, the more you know about your child's life, outside of your home. As busy as our lives are as parents, try to stay as involved as you can... join the PTA, become a room mother, or a team coach. Staying involved sends an unspoken message to your children, "I'm here. What matters to you, matters to me, and I want to be a part of your life."
