Each morning, we start Summer Academy with affirmations. It is a great daily habit. What are some of yours?

Be Open and Aware....

Encourage your child to talk about how they feel, especially if something seems to be bothering them. Remember, young people often don’t come to their parents when something is wrong. This is why it’s so important to regularly check in with them.

The first week of "Future Creators" Summer Academy has impressed us! Here are just a few photos. Thank you to Black Hawk County Extension & Outreach, Success Street Waterloo, SparkLot, Content City, Rodney's, The King Mexican Restaurant, Hawkeye Community College, Ms. Stokes, 1619 Freedom School, and more! , Waterloo Community School District

Outstanding!

Support Healthy Habits...

It’s important to get regular exercise, eat a healthy diet, and get enough sleep. These all have a positive impact on their mental health. Limit how much time you spend in front of a screen.
