Macaroni KID New Iberia Recommends: 5 Things To Do This Week!

Get the scoop on local resources and events happening this week from New Iberia to Morgan City!

By Tracie Ysaguire, Publisher for Macaroni KID New Iberia June 28, 2024

I am so shocked at how fast this summer is flying by!

It's already time for Independence Day celebrations and events. Before you know it, the kids will be back on the school bus. Make sure to get as many family fun days as you can before summer is completely gone! We'll be here each week to offer ideas and suggestions from events or kid's crafts you can do at home. 

Our craft on Good Day Acadiana this week is a perfect suggestion for an indoor fun day. Try to Create Summer Fun Décor with Common Everyday Items You Have at Home Let us know if you make them!

If you do decide to brave the heat from one of our weekly suggestions on the Macaroni KID New Iberia event calendar, please make sure to talk to your children about the importance of staying hydrated. We have a few ideas for you in 10 Ways to Get Your Kids To Drink More Water. Be sure to get a few ideas for your Independence Day celebrations and how to childproof your home for the little ones in the newsletter this week too. 

And finally, as we wrap up the month of June this weekend, I wanted to mention June is recognized as Men's Health Month. It's usually the men in our lives who don't make their health as big a priority as it should be. As women, we know it's more likely our health will be regularly addressed because of childbirth. But there have been breakthroughs that have recently been making the news regarding male birth control that could put the men in our lives in a more active role in family planning. I'd love to hear your thoughts! 

Now, on to our weekly recommendations for your family fun this week:

This week's newsletter is sponsored by the AHSA Commandos Homeschool Volleyball Team! 

The team is gaining momentum and has now had two months of official practices. The kids are making friends, learning new skills, and creating memories as a part of the first homeschool volleyball team in Acadiana! 

Macaroni KID New Iberia will be following the team's activity this school year sharing game dates, times, and information so you can enjoy a game.. or two with your family this year! 

You can still support the team with your donations to ensure the team continues to grow and offer homeschooled students in Acadiana another option for youth sports programs.
