Summer's Coming!

Wow, this year's flown by. The end of the school year is fast approaching, so we're winding down the Thriving Minds after-school program and gearing up for the next big thing: Summer Camp! We're on the move at all levels of the organization, planning, writing, promoting, recruiting, hiring—the list goes on and on. Since we're doing all this hard work for you, the community, we've tried to find ways to inform you about what is available.

If your child is in the Thriving Minds after-school program, stay tuned for more information on the Thriving Minds Summer Camps from the Community Site Manager at your site. They'll be sending your kiddos home with flyers very soon.

If you don't have a child in the after-school program, don't fret! You can join us at the Dallas Independent School District's Summer Quest this Saturday, May 1, from 10 am – 2 pm at Townview Center (1201 E 8th St, 75203). Summer Quest will be full to the brim of organizations offering free and low-cost summertime opportunities, so that every child in Dallas that wants something constructive and creative to do this summer can get signed up. It'll be a four-hour summer camp extravaganza!

And if that doesn't work for you, join us at Sizzlin’ Summer Kickoff at Paul Quinn College (3837 Simpson Stuart Road, 75241) on May 15th from 10 am – 2 pm for another summer camp fair. This event will feature free and low-cost summertime activities for kids of all ages, college readiness workshops for parents and students, health and dental screening, and employment and internship opportunities.

So there it is—everything you need to get your kids set for summer learning. We'll see you around town!
