Summer Family Park Dates in July and August
When your schedule permits, take a break in the middle of the week…in the middle of the day… in the middle of a park! Challenge program families (former, current, and future) are all welcome to bring a picnic lunch, outdoor games and toys, and optimistic amounts of sunscreen for some relaxing fun in the (hopefully) sun every Wednesday afternoon at various parks around the Edmonds School District during the months of July and August. Whenever possible, members of the CPA board will try to attend. These are just informal opportunities for families to get together. If you’ve got a Terrace Park or Gifted Education Day t-shirt, please try to wear it to allow for easy recognition by new families. We will target gathering between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. at the following parks:
