PBS Kids debuts new series “Molly of Denali” July 15th.
This July, PBS Distribution will begin streaming MOLLY OF DENALI, the first nationally distributed animated series in the U.S. to feature a Native American and Alaska Native lead character.

Curiosity May Be the Single Most Important Trait for Success in School
This week I came across an article that really hit home with me and confirmed my thoughts on the importance of creativity and why parents and educators should encourage this trait.

Researchers who looked at the reading and math scores of 6,200 kindergarteners in 2006 and 2007 found that those kids whose parents rated their children’s behavior as most curious did the best in school, regardless of socioeconomic status. The results were consistent for both boys and girls, too. The…
