Win Disney Books’ Adventurers Guild and Percy Jackson Coloring Book

Win a Copy of Win Disney Books’ Adventurers Guild and Percy Jackson Coloring Book

My family loves to read. Whether it be a paperback, hardback, audio book, Wattpad, ebook, magazine, newspaper or whatever. Sometimes even a cereal box. One of my favorite memories is four of us at a table in a restaurant, absolute silence as I read a paperback, my daughter on her kindle, my son on his phone and my husband on a tablet.

I am pleased to give away a copy of Disney Books’s The Adventurers Guild by Zack Loran Clark and Nick Elipulos and a copy of The Percy Jackson Coloring Book with artwork by Keith Robinson. Click here to Enter!

Parents for Healthy Kids Grant for the 2018-2019  Up to $1,000

Action for Healthy Kids has announced a new Parents for Healthy Kids grant for the 2018-2019 school year designed for parents and parent-groups (e.g. PTAs, PTOs) to lead school-based physical activity and nutrition initiatives and to engage more parents in student and family health.

 If your school or group has ever thought of starting a school garden, getting kids to eat more fruits and veggies at lunch, or finding ways to ensure their kids get more physical activity in and get the wiggles out during the school day so they can better focus in class, then this grant opportunity is for them. In addition to providing schools with needed funding (grants up to $1,000), AFHK provides schools technical support and resources to activate their grants.

Deadline to apply for a grant is April 6.Click here for an application and more information.
