leading off: publisher’s note Hello everyone! We hope your summer has started off as well as can be expected during these times. It has been tough for everyone to be quarantined and isolated. Tough for businesses to keep open and trying to keep the lights on and tough for senior citizens who are at a higher risk for Covid-19. But perhaps the group of people that have been most affected by our current situation are the high school students who were supposed to be graduating this month. In other words, the Class of 2020. We have dedicated this issue to listing as many names of these students as possible. We asked each school district to submit their graduating lists. At the same time, we asked parents to submit photos of their graduates.
In the following pages, these names and pictures are listed. We did the best we could to track down all of the school districts, but some did not provide lists. We apologize if your student is not listed. Some of these students were only in fourth grade when we started publishing this magazine. It is crazy to think that we have been around for most of some students entire schooling. We hope to be around to see many more graduates in the years to come. To those graduates we would like to say congratulations. The current world situation is not perfect, but it takes nothing away from your accomplishments. Best of luck to each of you as you continue to try to make the world a better place for all of us.
Our family at Hollywood Studios - right before the Pandemic, February 28th.

“Virginia National Guard Soldiers assisted with flood response and rescue operations in the Roanoke, Virginia, area...after days of heavy rains resulted in major flooding in and around the city.”
in the
‘Noke Noteworthy news from around the Valley
Phase 1 of reopening went into effect on May 15. With Executive Order 61, the Governor Northam announced Phase 1 of reopening businesses across the Commonwealth and provided guidelines for all business sectors to follow. Regardless of industry, businesses should continue to do all they can to minimize the spread of COVID-19 by following best practices such as: Physical Distancing: Require employees, vendors and customers to adhere to physical distancing guidelines, Face Coverings: Ask employees, vendors and customers to use face masks where possible,
Telework: Encourage teleworking where possible, Occupancy: Limit the number of persons in a space to allow for appropriate physical distancing, Enhanced Cleaning: Routinely clean and disinfect high-contact areas and surfaces, Hand Sanitization: Provide hand sanitizer stations and supplies for use by employees, vendors and customers. These best practices are provided simply as reminders and not as substitutes for the Governor’s guidelines, which should be followed carefully to ensure compliance and increase safety.
Camp Cancellations The following changes have been made to Roanoke County summer camps due to COVID-19: No full-day camps at Explore Park No half-day programs anywhere in the County Weekly day camps available at both the Green Ridge Center and the Brambleton Center Limit of 50 campers per week at each location
We heard it online! Virginia National Guard Soldiers assisted with flood response and rescue operations in the Roanoke, Virginia, area . . . after days of heavy rains resulted in major flooding in and around the city. - @VaNationalGuard

National Doughnut Day National Doughnut Day was created by The Salvation Army in 1938 to honor those who served doughnuts to soldiers during World War I. Many donut shops like to celebrate this day by giving away free donuts! Krispy Kreme, Dunkin Donuts and Duck Donuts have all confirmed fun promotions on this day! June 8
National Best Friends Day It’s time to honor our best friends, the people who laugh with us (and maybe a little at us) who support us, love us and encourage us everyday. Your best friends may be near or far, but spend some time today letting them know how important they are to you. And remember, Best Friend is a classification, not just a single person! June 17
Eat Your Vegetables Day Strategically created in the middle of National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables
Month, this day is the perfect opportunity to re-introduce a healthy portion of vegetables into your diet. On this day, you are encouraged to eat vegetables for every meal, and for a snack. We encourage parents to let the kids help with dinner, preparing the salad and vegetables. Along the way, you tell your kids a little about the importance of vegetables for a long and healthy life. June 19
Juneteenth / Freedom Day Juneteenth/ Freedom Day celebrates and symbolizes the end of slavery in the United States. President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862. It was not until June 19, 1865 that all slaves were finally freed. That concluding event was when General Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas with his troops and issued Order Number 3 which finally freed the last of the slaves. The formal end of slavery was marked by the passing of the 13th amendment of the constitution. We suggest reading Juneteenth for Mazie by Floyd Cooper together as a family today!

Unleash Your Inner Home Chef
B o o k Yo u r rty Bi r t hday Pa To day !
With many Americans staying home, the pressure is on to maintain fun and variety in the kitchen, so family meals don’t get boring. However, cranking out three meals a day can be a burden. In fact, the average American can only prepare five meals without a recipe, according to a OnePoll survey. Consider these fun tips to add a little diversity to your family’s daily menu.
Build a taco bar. This is an easy way to use leftovers from the week. Pull out tortillas or make rice, add any leftover proteins and sides then mix in taco seasonings.
Make a family classic. Think back to your childhood and the one or two dishes that became family favorites. Bust out those family cookbooks and recreate classics by having the kids help with ageappropriate tasks.

Try a microwave-friendly meal. For those nights when no one can decide what to eat, or when you’re simply tired of
Trampolines cooking, turn to the microwave. One healthy option is Aqua Star’s MicroSteam Seafood Meals, which combine sustainable seafood, including salmon, shrimp, tilapia and cod, with on-trend ingredients like mafalda pasta, sriracha, red quinoa and yellow carrots. In the microwave, the film expands and locks in steam to cook food evenly in just 6 minutes without a “fishy” smell.
Pull out the slow cooker. Being at home all day makes it even easier to prepare a good meal. Choose a recipe, throw it in the slow cooker in the morning and enjoy the delicious aromas as you wait for a meal that’s ready just in time for dinner.
Try a meal kit. Meal kits are a fun way to switch up your regular repertoire. They’re tasty, easy to make with kids and many of them come frozen so you can stock up. Take, for example, Aqua Star’s Cutting Board meal kits, which come with all the ingredients required to prepare and clean up a highquality and nutritious meal in 30 minutes or less. With flavors such as Cuban-style wild rockfish, crispy fish street tacos and sweet & spicy BBQ chicken flatbread, there’s plenty of options for family dinners.
Order takeout or delivery. Many restaurants offer takeout options, and with all the delivery services that exist, eating favorite restaurant meals from the comfort of home is easy to do.
Have breakfast for dinner. Seemingly always a kid-friendly favorite, scramble some eggs, cook some bacon and get creative with pancakes, French toast or waffles by adding fruit, spices or chocolate chips. If you learn new cooking methods, develop a larger menu and add some new dishes, eating at home can be fun and adventurous.
Busting Common Cooking Myths Myth #1: Frozen is not as good as fresh. When it comes to nutritional value, frozen foods are packed and frozen at the food’s peak freshness, meaning they’re still full of nutrients.
Myth #2: Cooking seafood is hard. Seafood is a healthy source of protein that can be steamed, baked, grilled or fried. Start with one technique and master it. An easy way to start is to saute shrimp or fish fillets in a bit of oil. Use the same technique as when you fry an egg and don’t overcook it.
Myth #3: Fish should never be microwaved. Microwaving seafood can actually help preserve nutrients that are typically broken down when heated using other cooking methods. The key is to use steam: Place the fish in a microwaveable bag or choose one of the many ready-to-microwave selections in your grocer’s freezer section. Steaming fish in the microwave cooks fish evenly and preserves texture and taste.

A Former Lifeguard Reveals 5 Secrets You Should Know By Cheryl Maguire
Summer is fast approaching which means pools and beaches may be opening. While your kids are having fun splashing in the surf it is important to keep in mind water safety. When I was 16 years old, I got my first real job as a lifeguard for the public town pool. Now that I’m a mom I understand how necessary it is for me to watch my children and not rely on the lifeguard. According to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), an average of 3,868 deaths per year occur due to unintentional drowning in the United States. Children ages 1–4 years old were most likely to drown in a swimming pool. People in the age range of 5-19 years old were most likely to drown in natural water such as an ocean or lake. Based on my experience as a lifeguard here are a few reasons I watch my children when they swim:
It was my first job Translation-I had no experience. Sure, I got the proper certifications, but I never had a job and I never was responsible for ensuring the safety of other people’s lives. I don’t think I really understood how serious it was

As a Parent You Should:
to be entrusted with this job. I thought being a lifeguard sounded like fun. I was getting paid to sit in the sun and socialize with my friends—that’s how teenagers viewed it.
they are struggling to swim, I might not be able to see it. With so many people in the pool all moving in different directions, it’s hard to keep track of everyone.
Granted this was a while ago and the pay can vary depending on where you work, but my first lifeguard job I was paid $4.25 per hour (it wasn’t a lot back then either— today’s dollar equivalent is $8.86). According to PayScale the average rate for a lifeguard now is $9.48 which might not be considered a lot of money to a teenager. Even though I was a responsible person, there are teens who view this low pay as a reason to not pay attention.
The rules for no running or no diving in shallow water exist because it’s unsafe. I had a hard time enforcing these rules since I didn’t know how to discipline other people’s children (they don’t teach that during the lifeguard certification class). This creates an unsafe situation not only for your own children but other people as well if parents don’t help to enforce these rules.
2. Help enforce the pool rules like no running and no diving in shallow areas. Kids can easily slip on the wet cement when they run. And if you dive in shallow areas, you can hit your head which could cause paralysis.

It was Low Paying
I’m Not a Disciplinarian
Always watch your child in the pool or other bodies of water, even if they know how to swim. Knowing how to swim doesn’t mean you can’t drown.
It’s hard to See/Hear Everything On hot crowded days, there are hundreds of people in the pool. Kids are screaming to get their friend’s attention, parents are yelling at their kids to get out of the pool and the other lifeguard is hollering yet again to the child running, “you need to walk, not run.” It’s hard to hear over all this commotion. If your child yells “help” then I might not be able to hear it. Or if
One time while I was a lifeguard, a person had a seizure and was drowning. I was not near the person when it happened, but the lifeguard that should have rescued this person froze in fear and did nothing. Luckily another nearby lifeguard stepped in and rescued the person.
Surrogate Mothers Needed! Call for Information
1. Always watch your child in the pool or other bodies of water, even if they know how to swim. Knowing how to swim doesn’t mean you can’t drown.
3. Make sure your child understands the pool gradually gets deeper. I once saw a child almost drown because they didn’t understand this concept and walked to a point where they could no longer stand. 4. Understand that arm floaties can come off your child. Don’t rely on this to keep your child’s head above water. 5. Understand that kids can drown in a puddle of water and it only takes seconds. The CDC found most drownings are preventable. Drownings usually occur in areas without lifeguards. Just because there is a lifeguard, as a parent it is important to have your guard up as well.

Create a backyard fun zone Keep the kids entertained for days
As if 2020 wasn’t challenging enough, summer is upon us and we have extra boredom that our children are dealing with. Kids have been out of school for months, and now that the weather is warming up, keeping them entertained while still staying safe at home is going to be a challenge. We found some great ideas to turn your backyard into a fun zone for the kids - mostly made from re-purposing items you already have or can get from a nearby store for a few dollars. Create a water gun course. Think paintball, but with much easier cleanup. Use lawn chairs covered with towels to provide “cover,” hula hoops with water buckets as a safe reloading zone. Take paper plates and use markers to draw a bullseye and place them around the yard at varying heights.
in the course. Be sure to include activities for running, jumping, lunging and crawling to mix up the activity and wear those little bodies out. Lastly, don’t forgot a good old fashioned “field day” type of setup. Use old pillowcases or feed sacks for a sack race, have field races, ball tosses, ball kicks a tug of war and a 3 legged race. You can even have an egg relay, balloon pop relay or a water jug relay. Don’t forget to make or buy some awards for the winners. These are great for the whole family to take part in! Remember things you used to enjoy as a kid? Bring back those fun activities for kids this summer and encourage them to get outside by creating a backyard adventure they’ll always remember. Curtis Burchett, REALTOR
Build an obstacle course out of everyday items. Use what you have on hand or pick up a few dollar store items to create a simple or complex backyard obstacle course. Use leftover boards as a balance beam, tires, jump ropes, hula hoops, tables, and chairs. Bend pool noodles into a half circle and stake in the ground with tent stakes for a crawl-through obstacle. Fill a kiddie pool with water balloons and have the kids search for a tennis ball, quarter or other small object before moving on to the next station. Attach string to short sticks or tent stakes as shown in the photo for a jumping activity, or line up hula hoops for another jumping challenge. Use Frisbees to create a hopping path from one point to another. Add an expandable tunnel as shown below for another challenging element

THINGS TO DO when you run out of other things to do. By Tracy Fisher (who apologizes in advance for her bad jokes.)
People are lonely and desperate for some human contact. A smile and wave can make someone’s day so much better!
Hold an indoor scavenger hunt.
Yell a color out loud and everyone scrambles to find something that color. The last person back chooses the next color. Continue until you’ve destroyed your house, but had lots of fun.
Follow along with a youtube yoga or exercise video as a family. Staying active is important for mental health and helps children release their natural high energy.
Draw self portraits without a mirror.
Or try trying your family members while sitting back to back. How accurate is your memory?
Design your family’s dream vacation home out of blocks.
Spend time imaging all the fun amenities you would want, like a room made entirely of chocolate or a robot that automatically puts the clean dishes away.
Video chat with far away friends and family. They miss you, you miss them.
Make paper airplanes and see which design flies the furthest.
Challenge others to see if they can design a plane that does consistent loop-de-loops or barrel rolls.

Family • June 2020
Take turns reading aloud your favorite picture books.
Create a Rube Goldberg Machine.
Don’t forget to do all the voices!
Inventing a machine that overcomplicates a simple task is really the best way to prepare our children for an adult life.
Introduce your children to your favorite childhood television show.
Try to blow a square bubble.
Because believe me, they don’t understand the magic behind a giant purple dinosaur or the importance of being slimed on Double Dare. Nearly every show has at least some clips uploaded online.
Have a family push-up/sit-up physical challenge.
The winner gets to pick dinner tonight!
Teach your children to cook a new recipe. This not only helps them learn math, chemistry and reading skills, but helps you so you don’t have to cook every meal every day.
Paint each other’s nails.
Taking the time to pamper someone else is both relaxing and kind.
Pitch a tent in the backyard and roast s’mores.
Maybe we can’t leave our yards, but we can still have summer-time fun. (also s’mores just taste better eaten outside. It is a scientific fact.)
Study the night sky and learn to identify constellations.
The stars are a constant in everyone’s lives, learning how to recognize patterns that have been a part of human history helps you feel more connected, even when we’re apart.
Challenge your children to create a bubblewand that will blow a square bubble. It will eat hours of their afternoon until they figure out it’s not (easily) possible.
Look up a copy-cat recipe from your favorite restaurant and try it at home.
Have a family tug-of-war.
It’s always good for the children to be reminded who is strongest; and for you to know when you are no longer “letting” them win.
Draw a picture without lifting your pencil off the paper. Drawing a legible picture without lifting your pencil takes time and planning, or you end up with a scribbly mess.
Make and fly a kite.
There’s great duplication recipes for coffee drinks, cocktails, appetizers and more.
It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t go higher than 3 inches above your head, your children will go gaga over it.
Serve dinner in black tie outfits and table decorations.
Write a time capsule letter to your future self.
Who says going to a fine dining restaurant or wedding is the only time you can put on that overpriced outfit? Don’t forget to set the table with the wedding china you never opened.
It’s important to remind your future self about the hard things you triumphed over, and the small happy things you may have forgotten.
Blast some 80s rock and have a dance party.
It’s one of the few legal ways you’re allowed to take out your family frustrations.
Bonus points if you tease your hair and send us a picture!
Learn a new hairstyle technique.
We don’t have the rush-go-go-go lifestyle in this pandemic, take the time to figure out a new style for yourselves and the kids.
Learn (or invent) a TikTok dance. It’s worth it just to see the embarassment on your preteen’s face. Interior Crocodile Alligator!
Play Hopscotch.
Have a water fight.
Paint fake tattoos on each other. It’s a perk of not leaving the house for anything any time soon.
Learn calligraphy.
So when you write a complaint to someone, it looks fancy.
Watch every Robin Williams Movie available. Because with that man’s range, there’s a movie for every situation and audience. Man, I miss him.
You know it’s been forever since you’ve actually played the game, not just drawn the board!
REAL. LOCAL.
SAVINGS.
