The Great August Meteor Shower!

Looking for one last magical summer memory before early bedtimes kick in? Grab a blanket, head to your backyard or a local Fort Wayne park, and look up!

The Perseid Meteor Shower is building right now with peak being August 12-13th! This is one of the brightest and most active shooting star shows of the entire year.

The Science Lesson for Kids: Ask your kids: Are shooting stars actual falling stars? (Answer: Nope! They are tiny bits of space dust and rock—some as small as a grain of sand—burning up super fast in Earth's atmosphere!)

Pack some hot cocoa in a thermos and count how many meteors your family can spot in 15 minutes!

Happy Friday! With school starting on August 12th, it’s time for a quick refresher on our absolute favorite morning sport: The School Carline!

Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a nervous Kindergarten parent, following these 4 golden rules makes morning drop-off smooth, stress-free, and safe for everyone:

1️⃣ Hug & Say Goodbye Early: Do the big bear hugs, pep talks, and backpack checks before you pull up to the unloading zone.
2️⃣ Passenger Side Exit Only: Kids should always hop out on the sidewalk side of the vehicle.
3️⃣ Stay in Your Car: Drivers, stay behind the wheel to keep the line moving! If your child needs help unbuckling or carrying a large project, park and enter the main door instead.
4️⃣ Phone-Free Zone: Keep eyes up and phones down in the parking lot!

💡 Drop a ❤️ if you’re ready for a smooth carline season! What’s your favorite carline jam to play in the morning?
