Weekend Highlights, Feb 20-21
We’re completely into the Olympics this week, so this will be short ‘n sweet because the snowboard half pipe competition is outrageous! Just want to let you know that I changed the format of kidHaven’s ‘Community Calendar’ every so slightly because I recently noticed that the previous format wasn’t showing all the events. What a great feeling knowing that the calendar is growing and improving! Alrighty, that’s it, now back to snowboarding…

Next Week and Beyond:
For those of you on February break:
- Are your kids participating in a local program during February Break, for instance, Dinosaur Days at the Peabody? It might sound silly to ask, but I would love to have some feedback about their experience. There are so many programs offered in the area, but I haven’t a clue about any of them. I think it’s valuable to have this sort of feedback from families here on kidHaven. Please send your tidbits to kidhaven@email.com and I’ll post them altogether. Thanks!
