Three guaranteed ways to prevent the summer slide

Posted by Kate Radell on June 03, 2024

School is out and summer break is finally here — for most of us! As we look forward to enjoying the warm weather, maybe taking a vacation or two, or even getting a break from the chaos that is the end of the school year, this is a season of opportunity for all the young minds out there.
