Back to School! Loveland kids and parents are gearing up for school to be back in session.
School Days It’s almost unbelievable, but the lazy, hazy days of summer are just about over and school is back in session. For some, the annual ritual of purchasing school supplies can be financially stressful as the lists have grown longer and longer. Our featured nonprofit helps with backpacks and supplies and other forms of support throughout the year In fact, school support resources, from bullying prevention to actually choosing the right school can be consuming topics for those with school age children. We put together some helpful info for parents and kids alike.
But even though summer days are waning, that doesn’t mean that there isn’t time for a couple of last minute trips with the family before fall activities get going. We offer up a couple of ideas for a weekend getaway by road or by rail. And if you’re just looking for a few hours to kill, check out the event calendar for some local ideas! —Misty Kaiser
