Summer resources for middle schoolers available online

All young people benefit from out-of-school activities that help them grow and learn, yet middle school is an age when student participation tends to decrease. The City of Newton’s Executive Office, Health and Human Services Department. and Newton Public Schools are currently working on promoting out-of-school time for middle schoolers. In the early stages of this work they have created a webpage to help families find summer options for their middle schooler, as well as provide other valuable information like financial aid tips.

They will be adding more to the webpage in the coming months but with summer coming up, they wanted to share their initial resources. Feedback and ideas are welcome.

Free TEEN Driving Skills for Life Program

This summer, the Ford Motor Company Fund is bringing the Driving Skills for Life program back to New England.

Wed. & Thurs., July 26-27: Seeking Speedway, Seeking, MA
Registration Link (with info): here.

In case you haven’t heard about this program before, this (100% free) hands-on driving program is taught by actual race car drivers, and I can tell you that it is a blast.

Teens will learn skills that go beyond driver’s ed. Skills include how to handle a spin out (in a Mustang, no less) as well as speed management, reaction time etc.

They’ll even have to go through a closed course while being utterly distracted by texts and an instructor, as well as donning what we call “impairment” glasses.

It’s a real eye opener for many. With vehicle crashes being the #1 killer of teens throughout the country, we are passionate about giving teens the skills they need behind the wheel, and believe that we’ve found a fun way to do just that.
