PSA for all soon-to-be kindergarten parents
Practice eating “school lunch” with your child. Make sure they can open everything you send with them.
- Talk about not eating off of the table in the lunchroom!
- Set a timer for 15 minutes and talk about how they may not finish eating and that’s ok. (This is HARD for them.)
- Practice packing everything back up and talk about what is trash and what should come back home in their lunch box.
Kindergarten lunch is a big adjustment and your child’s teacher will be super appreciative for the partnership in this challenging experience!

Summer Activity : Add to our Positivity Patch
Last year one of our Girl Scout Troop 2406 installed the Positivity Patch to our entrance at door 8. A HUGH Thank You to Girl Scout Troop 32 for adding to this Patch this year.
If you are looking for a rainy day activity, consider making a rock to add to our patch. Think back to the positivity project we learned about this year, and see what inspiration you can create.

Feel free to use the OHES Reading, Writing and Fitness Program, the Fairfax County Public Library program (offered at all Libraries) or just continue to read for pleasure!
