Superhero Training Tip of the Week
This week's tip is from Hilary Gee of Kansas Action for Children, a non-profit, non-partisan organization that shapes policy that puts kids first.
Hydrate like a Hero: Pass on Pop!
"Sugary drinks, like soda, sap your strength. Try skipping sweet drinks one day a week, and you’ll see even mere mortals can make the switch. Fuel your body with water or low-fat milk instead."
Featured Digital Item
Log in to Hoopla for The Adventures of Odysseus as told by Benedict Flynn. Listen to the whole story, and you'll earn enough time to get to the next prize. If you haven't used Hoopla before, you'll need to take a minute to create an account, then you're good to go for 15 check-outs a month. Best of all, when your mortal memory fails, these items return themselves, sparing you annoying late fees.
