Whether you like it or not, the end of the 2023-24 school year will be here before you know it. For some parents that means preparing to have a child graduate from high school, middle school, or elementary school. For some other parents - on the other end of the school spectrum - that means preparing to enroll their little one(s) in kindergarten. Speaking as a parent who has put two kids through kindergarten, I'm here to tell you it's okay - you're kid will be fine, and so will you.

Relive 1980s Elementary School Gym Class

If you are a Generation X or Millenial like me, you likely have some strong memories of gym class. Either you loved it or hated it. I made some fun memories and built character and muscle, but I'm really glad I never have to go back and face some of these things again! And I know my teachers did their best to make gym enjoyable and teach us life skills. They succeeded - this is all in good fun. And, hopefully, future generations will get to thoroughly enjoy some of these as much as I did!
