Local Libraries

Your local libraries offer a variety of programs to entertain and educate.  All ages are accommodated.  Rather than list everyone everywhere,  I suggest you make a habit of going into your library on a monthly basis and get the latest calendar of events.  

This is a great resource that can allow children to work on a project with a parent of other family member, enjoy story time or a special event all for free.

Target Supporting Schools K-12

If you are a Target shopper and have a REDcard, besides saving 5% on your purchases; you can also benefit a K-12 school of your choice.  To take advantage of this option, sign in on your Target account and select the REDcard tab. There, activate your card if you haven't already, and then proceed to select the educational program.

If you have any problem with this process, you can call the folks at Target and they are more than willing to help.  I am happy that I will be able to help my grandson's school in another state.

From the site: Target Educational Programs

With the help of our REDcard™ holders, Target has donated $418 million to local K-12 schools since 1997 through Take Charge of Education (TCOE). The program lets guests designate 1 percent of their REDcard purchases to a K-12 school of their choice to fund whatever the school needs most. In 2014, more than 84,000 schools received a TCOE check, totaling more than $31 million in TCOE donations for the year, keeping us on track to reach our goal to increase TCOE giving to schools nationwide.
