The 2008 Summer Reading Club is in full swing at your local library! Sign your kids up for the amazing, FREE program and keep them reading all summer long! Ask your librarian how your children can be registered to win passes to Berlin Raceway, Meijer Gift Cards, overnight stays at Avalanche Bay and the Grand Prize, a trip for FOUR to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida!
For tips on ways to get your kids reading this summer, check out the website below.
The American Academy of Pediatrics reports that overuse it to blame for up to half of all sports injuries in kids. That is why it is wise for kids to:
· Participate in a sport that emphasizes fun, safety, sportsmanship and learning skills.
· Join only one team per session.
· Take a break between seasons if they play multiple sports.
· Limit training in a single sport to no more than five days a week, giving kids at least one day off from any physical activity.
Words of encouragement can go a long way! In this week’s show, players from the West Michigan Whitecaps gave us the best advice they received as a child. We’d love to know what the best advice you received as a child was, and who it was from.
Congratulations to the 30,000 kids in Kent, Ottawa, Muskegon and Kalamazoo counties that participated in the Fifth Third “Feelin’ Good Mileage Club” this spring! I hope the healthy practices you’ve started will last a lifetime!
Every student that completed five miles in the Mileage Club was registered to win a new bike and helmet from Travelers Protection Assocation. Winners have just been selected! These eight winners will be awarded their prizes Friday, May 23 at Fifth Third Ballpark, prior to the West Michigan Whitecaps game:
Kent County: Ingrid Anarccon and Logan Smith
Ottawa County: Isabella Correa and Carson Mulvahill
Muskegon County: Kaitlyn Huffman and Cory Greeno
Kalamazoo County: Maddie Hinkley and Brendon Rouget
Way to go and thanks to all kids for participating in this year’s club!
In this week’s show we talked to two West Michigan employers that rely heavily on teens during the summer season. Here are their five best tips for getting that summer job.
1. Take it seriously and be professional. Even if it is your first job, it is important and the employer wants to you see if that way as well.
2. Bring the correct paperwork. When you’re filling out an application you’ll need your drivers license or a picture ID, social security number and in some cases a work permit. Make sure you check with your school guidance counselor to see if you’ll need to complete a work permit.
