Kids Biking 4 Kids Race
You are invited to our Kids Biking 4 Kids Race for special needs children and their families on the Village Green in Lake Carolina on April 18th at 10:30. The race will be followed by music, food, vendors, hay ride, bounce house and many smiles.
This event is to support the Abundant Life Equipment Lending Library, a non-profit organization.
The purpose of the non-profit organization is to collect existing wheelchairs, walkers, and standers that are no longer being used. We clean, repair, and catalog the equipment for those who need items for a short period of time because some people must wait for several months for insurance to pay for their equipment. Many people would benefit from this type of equipment library (Abundant Life Equipment Lending Library).
Follow us on Facebook (abundantlifeequipmentlendingl
Please encourage others to participate. If you have any questions, call
(803) 720-5240 or email us at abundantlifetherapy@gmail.com.
Information from Blythewood Middle School
Blythewood Middle School is having their annual BMS Pathways to Success on Thursday, April 16th, 6:00 p.m., beginning in the school gym.
The previous orientation in January provided information for those families considering expanded choice, while this program will be focusing on making a successful transition for those students and their parents who will be attending Blythewood Middle this fall. You will learn about summer opportunities like the BMS JumpStart Camp, receive information about the summer reading activity, the 6th grade supply list, and information about enrichment offerings.
Additionally, you will find out what Charger Kick-Off is all about and how you can receive information and keep in touch with the school. There will be brief sessions you can choose to attend on how to help your child with math at home, encouraging your reluctant reader, as well as learning about the adolescent child. The evening provides an opportunity to visit the 6th grade area classrooms and meet the teachers.
Our goal is to provide tools for a smooth transition from elementary school to the middle school. We are looking forward to meeting and working with you soon!
