Kidz Klub Connection 5
Hello Kidz Klub!
Hello Kidz Klub!
What a bright and sunny day we’re having! I hope you are all enjoying the fresh air and soaking up the warmth of the sun. But please, don’t forget to be mindful of practicing “social distancing”.
The weekend is upon us. I wanted to do something a little different for today’s Kidz Klub Connection to keep you busy until Monday. A challenge of some sort: I am asking you to share what you’ve been up to these past few weeks. Are there any fun activities you are doing with your families? How are you spending your days? Any suggestions to help keep your friends busy? Please email me at cbalicki@bgcwestfield.org with your fun stories, suggestions, or even if you wanted to share a “Joke for the Day”. What a great way to stay connected with your Kidz Klub family!
I look forward to hearing from you!
Stay safe. Exercise your brains and your bodies.
Take Good Care!
Miss Charisse
