Here is the part of drowning that surprises people. It is quiet.

No splashing, no yelling, no waving arms. A child slips under while eight adults are within thirty feet, and every one of them assumed somebody else had eyes on the water. That is not negligence. That is how a crowded holiday works.

So assign it out loud. One adult, on the water, phone down, for a set stretch of time. Then hand it off to the next person by name. Say the words "you have the water now."

Life jackets on the little ones and on anybody who is not a confident swimmer, no matter how shallow it looks.

Enjoy the long weekend. Just make sure one person always has the job.

If you haven’t been able to send in a physical family picture to you child’s teacher, you can send one to me through FB Messenger right here, and I will print it off for them to display with others!

September 17th is the last day a child will be able to attend without a physical. Please make sure to get your child in to their primary care office and if you are having any issues, please contact your Family Advocate. Thank you, Jeni

Back-to-school season means checklists everywhere — pencils, folders, new backpack for the older kids. Sending our preschoolers off on new adventures, and add one more item to that list: back seat. Kids under 13 are safest riding in the back, buckled correctly in the seat that fits their age and size. Take a minute this week to double-check everyone's ride is set up right before that first drop off.
