Summer Learning Sweepstakes: Pin to Win a $500 Visa Gift Card

Students in every grade level can be found counting down to the highlight of their year, summer vacation. While we encourage students to celebrate their ability to sleep in, bask in their assignment-free schedules, and soak up some summer fun, we also want to encourage them to exercise their minds and engage in some summer learning.

This summer, we’re featuring resources and ideas for preventing summer learning loss, including suggestions for outdoor activities, educational games, and tips and tricks for the whole family. These articles about summer learning are a great way to ensure that your students retain what they learned this past school year and stay on track for the grade level they’ll be entering in the fall.

And, as in years past, the upcoming school year will likely be expensive, from purchasing school supplies and new clothes to planning meals packed with brain food. In an effort to help with these back-to-school expenses, we’re kicking off a Summer Learning Pinterest Sweepstakes, giving you the opportunity to win a $500 Visa Gift Card!

Pinterest is one of our favorite resources for finding and collecting inspiration for family meals, ideas to make learning fun, and even time-management tips. Just follow these steps and enter our Summer Learning Sweepstakes by using the form below.
