Hunt for Treasure with “STMA Rocks”

Tiny treasures are popping up all over St. Michael–Albertville, but you have to look down—they could be hiding right under your feet!

It’s being called STMA Rocks, and they are just that—rocks, hand-painted by kids and parents and hidden all around the STMA area. My kids found their first rocks earlier this week hidden on the grounds of the St. Michael library.

Summer “Bucket Lists” & The Pressure to Do it All

The other day some friends and I were talking about warm-weather activities for our kids, when one of them asked, “Am I the only one who’s feeling totally overwhelmed by how many things there are to do this summer?”

She wasn’t. I’ve definitely felt overwhelmed with all the options for entertaining and enriching our kids during the summer, especially as I worked on putting together the summer events calendars. There are a lot of options for activities, and it’s easy to feel like you’re supposed to do it all!

You’ve probably heard of families creating a “Summer Bucket List,” a list of things to do before summer kicks the proverbial bucket and the kids return to school. Maybe your family has even made its own summer bucket list before…

The classes take place at St. Michael Elementary, and the cost is $45 for a four-day camp. Your student can also sign up for multiple classes during the same session at a discounted price. (2 classes $75, or 3 classes $95)
