Newspapers

Today in the Weston Forum I found a goldmine of information! There is a special section called "100 Things to Do"! There are definitely some ideas there that I didn't know about.

Also, on the Opinions page there was an article on summer vacation. It said in a recent study "State of the World's Children 2009: Investing in the Early Years" by Save the Children, things looked grim for America. 'On the fast track to the bottom of the class for industrialized countries, we are falling behind in the resource this study says is most important: human capital.' The idea this article brought up was to expose children to national parks. Since we don't have one here, it pointed out that there is something close in the Branchville section of Wilton, the Weir Farm National Historic Site. I've been meaning to check it out. This is the only National Park Service site dedicated to American Painting.
