Hey kids, guess what’s happening in August

Children’s Eye Health and Safety Awareness Month: With ‘Back-to-School’ time here, it’s super important to make sure your eyes are healthy and safe! Whether you’re reading books, using a computer, or playing outside, your eyes work hard. Wearing sunglasses on sunny days, taking breaks from screens, and getting regular eye check-ups help keep your eyes healthy and strong. Remember, clear vision makes learning easier and more fun and see the board clearly in class! Black Business Month: This is a great time to celebrate and support Black-owned businesses. These businesses are owned by African Americans and contribute a lot to our communities. Whether it’s a neighborhood bakery, a cool clothing store, or a local market, shopping at Black-owned businesses helps everyone grow and succeed. It’s a great way to learn about different cultures and support people working to make a difference! Maybe you and your family can check out a local store or restaurant run by Black entrepreneurs!

  Hey Kids! Did you know that today is National Wiffle Ball Day? A Wiffle Ball is a fun, lightweight ball with holes, perfect for backyard games! It’s played with a plastic bat and ball, making it easy and safe for everyone. You don’t need a huge field or special equipment—just grab some friends, a bat, and a Wiffle Ball to start a game anywhere!   A bit of Trivia! - National Wiffle Ball Day. It was invented way back in 1953 by a man named David N. Mullany. He created it so kids could play baseball safely in small spaces. The ball’s special design lets it curve and fly in cool ways!   How to celebrate? Get outside and play! You can even create your own Wiffle Ball tournament with family and friends. It’s a great way to enjoy the day and have some fun!
