Quarterly Health focus: Fall Fun
Family Media Plan
Media is everywhere, and managing it all can be tough. Creating a Family Media Plan can help you and your children set media priorities that matter most to your family. Come back to revise your plan as often as you need to, such as at the beginning of each school year or during summer and holiday breaks.

Go have fun at a Park
Imagination powers the mini-rocket at the space-themed Valley of the Moon Park at 17th Avenue and E Street, one of the Anchorage's 223 parks where kids can run off excess energy, play catch or enjoy a family picnic. Warm summer breezes lift giant colorful kites in Delaney Park, a long, broad strip of green space an the southern side of downtown. Lumbering, majestic gorillas stand statuesque guard at Charles Smith Memorial Park at C Street and Chester Creek.
Science supports what you may already sense naturally: spending time outside, especially in green spaces like parks, is important for children's development and well-being. Connecting with nature can even help manage some physical and mental conditions.
