Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Sleepaway camp. Summer school. Daycare.
During the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, keeping kids occupied can get expensive.
We take a look at free and low-cost opportunities in our region to keep kids safe, fed, healthy, and happy when they aren’t in school.
