Just a heads up Amarillo area parents. This is your alert that school will be closed again for a day in April. Somehow it always comes as a surprise to some parents even when a calendar is given out early in the school year.

I get it. There are a lot of dates to keep up with. Don't worry the school year is winding down and you will have a whole summer to worry about. Until that day comes there is one upcoming date you need to worry about, April 18th.

The kids are out and it is Good Friday. Maybe that means you can stay home with them Maybe your office is closed. If so, good for you. If not then you may be struggling to find something for the kiddos to do while you have to work.

Now the goal is to find something fun so that you are not receiving countless calls and texts about how bored they are. If you are in the boat of needing help then there is a perfect solution.

School’s Out Day Camp
This is how we SCIENCE! Campers will learn on their level with a science-based curriculum and qualified teachers.
Encourage your young learners to step away from the screens to explore all we have to offer with exhibits that encourage electrifying interactions that will have them thrilled to talk about what they’ve learned!
I mean the kicker is you don't have to tell them that they are learning. All they know is that they are having fun.
