Since its inception in 1999, the Week of the Family Committee has designated the Monday of the week as a time reserved for families to stay at home and do something specifically with their family. It is hoped that reserving a set time each week for family time will become habit-forming.
Family Activity Day is for everyone. You are encouraged to “adopt” friends and neighbors who would enjoy an evening of family activities.
Ideas for things to do as a family:
Play board or card games
Get out the family photo album
Make up a play or story
Make dinner—everyone contributes a dish
Make a family calendar
Read a book aloud (book lists are available at the library)
Write letters to grandparents or other family members
Draw or paint a picture
Learn how to use a compass
Pull out your old records, tapes, CDs, then listen to and discuss music
Please join the Sequoia High School FIRST Tech Challenge Robotics Team, FTC 4475 - Purple Reign, to see how they have built a competition robot. You will get to drive the robot and ask all of your questions.
