Celebrate families this weekend
The Boys and Girls Club of Glacier Country will host special events celebrating families Sunday.
It's part of a nationwide effort to establish a National Kids Day, and it is backed by research showing that meaningful time helps foster stronger relationships between parents and children.
Locally, the Boys and Girls Club will sponsor a discount day - $5 a person - from noon to 4 p.m. at Big Sky Waterslide. Children must be accompanied by at least one adult family member.
Waterslide tickets must be purchased in advance. Buy them at Montana Coffee Traders in Columbia Falls and at the water slide.
Families also are invited to a free roller-skating session from 5 to 8 p.m. Sunday at the Evergreen Boys and Girls Club's roller rink in Kalispell.
Boys and Girls Clubs of America and KidsPeace launched National Kids Day during 2001 to help foster strong relationships between adults and children by educating them on the importance and value of spending meaningful time together.
The national event provides the opportunity for all adults to take breaks, celebrate and renew commitments to their children.
Nationwide, more than 500,000 children and their families are expected to participate in more than 1,300 events.
Call the Boys and Girls Club at 892-7486.
