Goodbye August. Hello September!

Back to School Time

By Ellen DeFrancesco, Publishing Mom of This Newsletter August 27, 2014

We cover the following towns: Long Beach, Oceanside, Rockville Centre, Island Park, Lido Beach, Lynbrook, East Rockaway, Baldwin and Freeport.

This week we're highlighting all things back to school.  I got so excited yesterday when I found some fun activities to do with the kids.  I actually said to myself, "I'll take the girls next week."  I got so depressed when a minute later it finally hit me.  The summer is gone and the girls go back to school on Tuesday.  I loved Camp Ellen this summer.  We stayed up late, woke up whenever we wanted, hung out, went swimming (thanks to Allison who supplied Camp Ellen pool time), played mini golf, raced in electric go karts, watched movies on the lawn and beach, went to shows on Long Island and in the city, had playdates and relaxed.  I'm gonna miss them.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for everyone who donated in the Macaroni Kid Backpack Campaign.  We raised enough money to buy backpacks and school supplies for 60 homeless children right here in our community.  Chick HERE to see the pictures on Facebook.

Congratulations to ROBERT M.  who was notified via email that he won the vouchers to Position Pole Raceway.
