At LFCDS, we believe that time away from school - especially during the summer - is important for students. It provides opportunities for play and self-exploration. We also believe that learning can be a recreational activity that helps students grow and keeps their minds fresh. It is in this spirit that we've developed the resources below to support a healthy and balanced summer.

Below you will find articles that support the importance of opportunities for students to practice and extend their academic thinking beyond school. In addition, we have collected titles of child development and parenting books for your own enrichment.
