Students are taught to advocate for themselves and to use their voices and written words to articulate their values, beliefs and dreams.

This month at Let’s Dish! we decided to go on a “culinary adventure.” Even at our mid-Atlantic headquarters this meant something different to each and every one of us. To me, it meant trying the latest thing from Timbuktu. To Alexa, it meant introducing a new flavor to her kids that they might not have [...]

To help kids do their homework (and not be on a scavenger hunt for supplies), set up a portable homework center. You could use a tackle box or portable file box.

We thought we’d switch topics quickly for a moment and introduce our new “Family Matters” category for an important reason. A story came out yesterday on ABC 7 (WJLA) that focuses family dinners and their importance to healthy eating, particularly among teenage girls. The TV news segment discusses a new study that finds teenage girls are less [...]
