The end of the school year and the official start of
summer both happen in June. What better time is there
for a kid. Three months away from the daily rigors of
tests and quizzes, school lunches, waking up early,

inactivity their brain is not doing much of anything.
This makes it all that much harder to transition back
into school each September. And we've all been there,

school is when many children struggle to get their
brains accustomed to learning and retaining new
