Summer is rounding up and we are down to just days away before your kids are back in school. Most folks have just one weekend left — maybe two — before school starts. There are three things every parent and child want to get done before that first day of school.

1) Finish (or start) that summer reading assignment

Walk in the library this time of year and any librarian will tell you:

“Once August hits everyone realizes oh gosh, we are going to be going back to school at the end of the month,” said Warrensville Heights librarian Maria Trivisonno.

Now they’re getting a rush from kids who never picked up the books for their summer reading list.

“All of a sudden they’re surprised there is a waiting list on the books because everybody else is reading the same books and we only have so much money,” said Trivisonno.

2) Have fun!

Besides getting all the summer reading done parents also wanted to make sure the kids are having fun.

“We’re going to the pool,” said poolgoer Molly Hanna.

“That’s why we are at the pool today, trying to enjoy some of the fun in the sun before they have to go back to school,” said parent Dawn Schmitt.
