THE DEAL
Don’t Let Back-to-School Tasks Sneak Up on You By Jason Alderman
P
arents, if this is your first time at the back-to-school rodeo, let me share a few lessons my wife and I have learned the hard way. Chances are you’ll be spending the next few weeks filling out piles of pre-enrollment paperwork, lining up carpools and, of course, taking the dreaded shopping excursions for clothes and school supplies.
propriate clothing.
• Although shopping online can save money, time and gas, don’t forget to factor in shipping and return costs, which could undo any net savings. If your kids are old enough, put them in charge of online comparison shopping and coupon clipping.
• Ask which school supplies you’re expected to buy. Go in with other families to take advantage of volume discounts and sales.
If you’re a first-timer or simply need a backto-school refresher course, here are a few suggestions that can help you save time, money and sanity:
Get organized. Maintain a correspondence file from your kid’s school for things like registration requirements, report cards, permission slips, required vaccinations, school policies, teacher and parent contact information, etc. Ask whether the school has a website, online calendar, or email list you can join. Also, create a family master calendar.
Back-to-school shopping. Between new clothes, classroom supplies, and extracurricular activity fees and equipment, many parents end up spending hundreds of dollars per child. Ideally, you’ve been setting money aside all year. If not, you’ll need to determine what you can afford to spend without blowing your overall budget. Here are a few organizational and money-saving tips:
• Before you shop, make a comprehensive list for each child. Use previous years’ expenses as a guide and compare notes with other parents and school officials. • Engage your kids in the budgeting process. Share how much money is available to spend and get them involved in prioritizing expenses between “needs” and “wants.” • Go through your kids’ closets and have them try on everything. Make an inventory of items that fit and are in good shape, and take it when shopping so you don’t accidentally buy duplicates. (While you’re at it, share, sell, or donate unneeded items.)
• Spread clothing purchases throughout the year so your kids don’t outgrow everything at once. Many stores hold fall clearance sales to make room for holiday merchandise.
• Review the school’s dress code so you don’t waste money on inap-

There are two faces to this fable: sometimes the nonprofit that wants to “hire a rolodex” and other times a development professional is “selling” her rolodex. When making a hire, don’t look to use another organization’s relationships - build your own, for most are not transferrable. We know of too many instances where candidates promote their relationships with donors/ funders, forgetting that the relationships are really between donors/funders and the organization, not the individual.

Swimming Resources Abound for R Part 2 of 2 part series By Erika Winston
S
ummertime is finally here and Richmond area kids are flocking to local pools, with hopes of staying cool and having some water fun. Unfortunately, many of these children can do little more than splash around, as they are unable to swim. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), 20% of all drowning fatalities involve children under 14-years-old. Additionally, for every child fatality, five more are hospitalized from a near-drowning. The statistics are even worse among African American children, with fatal drownings for children between the ages of 5 and 14-years-old being three times higher than their white counterparts. These drowning rates exemplify the importance of water safety and basic swimming skills among children. Fortunately, Richmond parents have several resources available to meet this lifesaving need.
To drownproof Richmond is the ideal goal. Half of the population doesn’t know how to swim. We want to change that and we think we can change that. Adam Kennedy, Executive Director of the Collegiate School Aquatics Center
Free Swimming Lessons from the City
The Richmond Department of Parks, Recreation, and Community Facilities is offering free swimming lessons for residents at neighborhood parks throughout the city. The program is broken into three age groups, to include youth (ages 5 – 12); teens (13-17; and adults (18 and up). According to Althea Taylor, Aquatics Manager for the city, last year was the first time the program was offered and 504 participants were serviced. Coordinators are hoping to see an increase to 800 participants this year. The classes focus on an introduction to water skills, fundamental aquatic skills, and water safety skills. “Research has proven that participation in formal swim lessons can reduce the risk of drowning in young children,” stated Taylor. “Factors such as access to swimming pools, the ability to afford swim lessons, and choosing water-related recreational activities contribute to increased drowning rates among Richmonders”.
Richmond Parks and Recs operates 10 swimming pools throughout various areas of the city. According to Taylor, approximately 300 residents utilize these pools each day. To promote safety, she explains that each facility employs a staff of seven American Red Cross certified lifeguards, and most of them have at least three years of experience. Monitoring swimming ability is another precaution taken by the Department of Parks. “Swimmers must meet a height requirement of 4 1/2 feet to swim alone at our facilities,” explains Taylor. “All patrons are required to take a swim test (swimming on your front or back 25yds, treading water for one minute, and floating on your front and back for one minute). When a patron passes the swim test, they are given an arm band which assists lifeguards in identifying and recognizing swimmers. If a

Kennedy. “Aquatics is the only activity that allows physical fitness throughout our entire lifetime.” He went on to discuss how injury or aging can limit mobility. “A senior may not be able to walk through the neighborhood, but they can get into the pool.” Increasing Aquatic Access
In an effort to drownproof Richmond, the Aquatics Center partners with various area agencies to provide swimming lessons and water access to children throughout the metropolitan area. One of those partnerships involves the YMCA and an initiative called “The Learn to Swim Program”. According to Kennedy, the goal of the project is to place a seven lesson swimming curriculum in every school of the region by 2020. Through the work and effort of the YMCA and area school systems, that goal is in reach. The program is aimed at second grade children. With parental permission, the children receive seven weekly swimming lessons during the course of the school day. Each school is assigned to a conveniently located pool, where the children are transported weekly for a 45 minute lesson. Kennedy explains that the first lesson focuses on water safety techniques, while the other six are dedicated to swimming instruction. The goal of the program is for each child to swim 5 to 10 yards, without assistance. The entire process only requires about an hour and a half outside of the school each week. “The program is in 56 elementary schools throughout the region now,” stated Kennedy.
Another valuable collaboration for the Aquatics Center is its partnership with the Richmond area Salvation Army. The Church Hill Boys and Girls Club houses a five-lane, 25-yard pool that is currently inoperable. Through its advisory role, the Center assisted in identifying funding to assist in making the pool operational again for kids in the area. Once the repairs and upgrades are made, the pool will provide aquatics access year-round to the Church Hill area.
“We are an advocacy engine for aquatics in the Richmond region,” stated Kennedy. He hopes that other aquatics organizations will join in the creation of collaborations, working together to increase access and educate the public about the numerous benefits of water activity and safety.

benefits of summer studies. After all, it’s called “vacation� for a reason. Here are a few fun ways to keep kids’ brains on high alert all season:
Make Math Fun The more interactive and hands-on you can make math, the more engaged kids will be. So avoid drilling them with stale worksheets.
Play a board game like “Monopoly,� and bestow the role of “banker� on your child.

Supplement these experiences with tools that go beyond a standard workbook. For example, a new book, “Amazing Visual Math,� covers the essential math concepts learned in the first years of school using interactive elements, including pop-ups, flaps, and pull-tab elements. Designed to develop manual dexterity and sharpen visual skills, tools like this can make a tedious subject entertaining.
Foster their Interests The school year can be hectic and isn’t necessarily an ideal time for a child to take on new hobbies. Summer, however, is the perfect time of year to encourage kids to explore new interests through thematic summer camps, community classes, and sports teams. You can also nurture interests through non-fiction literature. Check out the “Eyewitness Books� series from DK Publishing with titles that cover a broad range of topics like “World War I,� “Rocks & Minerals� and “Wonders of the World.� Newly updated this year and now available in paperback, they can help bridge the gap between last school year and the next.
Get Informed The implementation of new education policies and standards can be difficult on students, but you can help smooth the transition and prepare your child for the coming school year by learning more about it. Visit www.us.dk.com/education for Common Core and STEM information for all grade levels, activity sheets, and book recommendations on all topics that support classroom learning. Friendly Competition Start a family competition to see who reads the most books this summer. Post the results on the fridge so everyone can see.
Road Trip Fun Make summer road trips a bit less of a bore by stocking the car with fun games and activities. The Ultimate Factivity Collection series includes doodle and coloring pages, puzzles, crafts, stickers, facts, and activities that encourage learning. With titles like “Animals,� “Fashion,� “Star Wars� and “LEGO Legends of Chima,� kids won’t suspect they’re learning. To set up kids for a successful school year, find activities that strike the perfect balance between learning and fun.
