A mere three weeks from now, children across central Arkansas will be heading back to school. This month's edition of Little Rock Family has lots of advice and resources to help get your family ready.
Our cover mom this month is Julia Hamra, mother to Spencer and public relations director at Easter Seals Arkansas. She lets us inside her busy life, discusses Spencer's recent therapy at Easter Seals and gives us all the details on Rollin' On The River, the annual fundraiser for Easter Seals.
We also have a great lineup of articles to help you shift your focus from pool days to school days. First up: part two of our Guide to After-School Activities. This list includes enrichment, tutoring and after-school care options. Next, Holly Sheppard, former assistant editor for Little Rock Family and current literacy coach at Lakewood Middle School, shares tips for starting a family book club to encourage and improve reading skills for every member.
Assistant Editor Lindsay Irvin surveyed elementary and middle school teachers to ask them what they really want parents to know and do in order to foster good parent-teacher relationships (hint: don't hover!). She also takes a look at the growing trend of iPhone Moms and new apps that make life easier for parents.
School Crossings editor Kelcie Huffstickler takes you on an exclusive tour of the new Don Roberts Elementary in west Little Rock.
Our Cool Finds page features 14 must-have items for school, and our comprehensive calendar has lots of ideas for fun things to do in the remaining few weeks of summer.
