Mason Rice Elementary School Tutoring – Newton, MA

By

Watch for the Y3K Tutor In Your Home gift certificates at the annual Mason Rice Elementary School fundraiser. The money raised will go towards the students of Newton, MA. They plan on using the money we raise for technology purchases, art and science programming, educational support staff development and classroom supplies. New this year they are using some of the money raised by Y3K Tutor In Your Home and other donors, to start a New Playground Fund. This would go toward replacing the Mason Rice Elementary School’s 20 year old wooden playground. The children living in Newton, MA would be grateful for a large turnout so that the new playground will become a reality.

Backpack Safety Tip

By

Leave as many textbooks at home as possible or get a copy for home and one for school. Carrying too many can be harmful for developing spines.

Backpack Weight

By

When full, a backpack can weigh over 30 lbs. Kids can develop back problems from this excess weight. Stay tuned for weight reduction tips.

Backpack Usage

By

A backpack must be worn right for it to be safe. Wear both straps snugly and rest at the waist. Wearing it too low or using only one strap can hurt the spine.
