It’s President’s Day off for some and mid-winter break for others. If your kids are home this week, make the most of the time off with these activities.
Make A Splash – Staycation
You don’t have to take a trip to Florida to make a splash on break. Pull out the swimsuits, floaties and googles for indoor fun at a local aquatic center. You can also drop-in to open family swim lessons at Goldfish Swim School – hours vary per location so check each site.
