KLRN Summer Learning Newsletter

The mission of KLRN is to open a world of lifelong learning through trustworthy and enriching programs on-air, online and in our community.

Dear Families,

Our children have so much wisdom. They share their sense of justice and compassion with the world through their actions. They have a lot to teach the world. Let us listen to them and let us encourage the kindness that they exhibit in their everyday lives. You are already making positive changes by learning, sharing, and creating. You Can Change the World!

You, Me, and Community: Change It!

As the school year comes to an end, we know that many children will not be able to participate in many of the traditional summer time activities that we all look forward to year after year. We want you to know that KLRN is here for you and your family.

We are offering a virtual summer camp for students.We are exploring concepts related to STEM, Art, Literature, Physical Health and Emotional Well Being. Stay tuned and please reach out to us any time.

With appreciation,

KLRN Education Team

HEALTHY KIDS

KLRN’s Healthy Kids Project supports healthy lifestyles by influencing eating decisions and physical activities. Through project resources, the audience is introduced to songs, live action movement, animation, and a cast of “perfectly imperfect” characters to deliver key messaging that contrasts healthy choices and attitudes with unhealthy behaviors. Lessons include activities for children ages 0-9 and all school age lessons are aligned to the TEKS.
