Looking for a simple way to connect with your kids and beat the summer break? Grab your sneakers and head out for a family walk! It is the perfect screen-free opportunity to explore your neighborhood, get some fresh air, and make lasting memories together.

Here are a few fun ways to level up your summer strolls:

Host a Scavenger Hunt: Create a quick checklist of items for them to spot (e.g., a yellow flower, a dog, a red car).

Try a Sunset Walk: Beat the midday heat by walking in the evening and catching the sunset.

Make it an Adventure: Let your kids lead the way and choose which turns to take.

Meet Georgia Cooper. She is a favorite at Hollister R-V School District! She says, "My favorite things about subbing are the kids. I want to help the kids understand they are all important, that they matter. Everyone I have encountered at Hollister from the administration down have been amazing!" Thank you for all you do, Georgia!
