News From Around the District

District Center Phones are Going Digital on Wednesday, 7/28/2010
One of the bigger projects planned for the district this summer is to upgrade the telephone system from analog to digital transmission. While this will greatly expand the capacity of our system, it means that individual building telephone lines will be down on the respective day of installation.

The District Center installation is scheduled for Wednesday, July 28. Tthe phones will be down for extended periods of time during the day, however, staff will still be accessible via email. In the event of an emergency, please call 651.775.9155. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

No Cost Fun with Kids
Are you looking for free, fun things to do close to home? How are the Children?, an initiative of the Suburban Ramsey Family Collaborative, has created a list of Free and Fun Things to Do with Kids.  From stargazing to airplanes to building things to making crafts, get some new ideas of places to go and things to do that appeal to kids on any age.  Try one idea each week or use this list to plan a fun “staycation” this summer. 

The list includes links to all nineteen resources so you can learn more about their hours, directions, etc.  The How are the Children? website also has lots of information for parents.
