FAMILY AND SCHOOL CONNECTION
by Mrs. Chamberlin
Principal of Lura Libby and Cushing Community Schools
| This time of year many families are tired of cold weather
and ready for spring to be here. To have something different to look forward
to plan a long family day, or a weekend get-away. Decide if you want
to go to Bangor or Portland and then look into what kind of deals or specials
fit into your family budget. A lot of hotels run a weekend special
and it often includes breakfast and use of the pool and fitness club.
A good way to find out about special rates or deals is to scan the Sunday
paper, look on the internet or just call a variety of hotels and ask what
kind of special values the hotel is offering. Both Portland and Bangor
offer a large variety of things do such as the children’s museum, sporting
events, a shopping mall, the University of Maine, etc. You can easily
fill up a day or two with some fun events. What a nice way to reconnect
with your family.
Here is a great snack recipe you can make with your children
ahead of time to eat in the car or as a treat along the way.
