Wow! We won a Global Prize and we're pretty
excited about that! Read all about it on Page 3.
And we're also excited to put together the
first Kid Scoop News edition of the new
school year!
Going back to school is exciting but it can also
be a little scary too. So, we've got pages and
cartoons in this issue which will really help
you if you find yourself (or others) in a
disagreement with someone. Finding
solutions is the key to figuring out what's
FAIR and what's FOUL.
Just like you, Dolphins go to
School. Do you think you could
be a dolphin trainer? Read the
steps that show you how it's done.
If you ever listen to a baseball
game announcer on the TV, they
talk about sinkers, sliders, splitters,
cutters and more. It might sound like a
foreign language but the STEM (science,
technology, engineering and math) of
Baseball is what make a pitch curve in the
air to fool a batter — amazing!
From baseball to Unicorns! Those magical,
mysterious creatures have a fascinating origin
story. You can learn how to draw one too.
Jam-packed full of puzzles, games and
activities, this September issue will welcome
you back to school and provide each and all of
us with reading fun.
Happy September,
