family publication for students in grades K-6, is
here to help.

ing and good character traits for students and
offers a variety of free and fun articles, games,
coloring activities, puzzles, kid-friendly reci-
pes, career exploration and more.

tion pages, such as the NASA Night Sky Net-
work, James Patterson's Read Kiddo Read
book reviews, Kids First movie reviews, NOAA
weather and Sheri Amsel's Exploring Nature.
Find all this, a local community calendar and a
letter from Truman the Dragon just for the kids
in each monthly issue.
