K20 Center "Soon, the bells will ring; the lockers will slam; the halls will empty; the classrooms will fill; and the stress level for kids and parents will rise. But even in the heavy mid-August air, there is an excitement, a crisp tang of newness anticipating a new school year." NY TImes Anyone else feeling this way?
K20 Center Next week is National Volunteer Week (APril 19-25). The theme this year is "Celebrating People in Action." Don't forget to thank those who dedicate themselves to taking action and solving problems in their communities.
