With
National Summer Learning Day
right around the corner, the National Summer Learning Association (NSLA) has got you covered with tips below to help you celebrate the importance of keeping kids learning, safe, and healthy.

Engage community leaders such as mayors, principals, athletes, or media personalities to read, sign autographs, or participate in activities. In Philadelphia, PA, Malcolm Mitchell of the New England Patriots hosted a reading rally for hundreds of kids where they all enjoyed story time.

Choose a theme and support it with a few activities. Outer space, baseball, and fashion shows are just a few examples. In Chicago, IL, with a superhero theme, Chicago Public Library invited kids from across the city to help set a Guinness World Record by creating the largest playable GIANT Word Winder of all time!
