Plan ahead for July 4 weekend fun The Hood River Lions are working with other community groups for an- other great Independence Day salute to the United States.

Attendees are asked to bring a can of fruit or soup to Jackson Park that will be given to the FISH Food Bank. For safety to children There is still time to share your photos of summer fun with the community, in a photo contest sponsored The Next Door Inc. Once again this year, in celebrating “Oregon Parent- ing Education Week,” the Co- lumbia Gorge Parenting Ed- ucation Program of The Next Door seeks photos of children from birth to eight years interacting with an adult in a healthy activity. Activities can include a fam- ily outing, playing, eating, story time, making a craft, playing at a park, or any other healthy adult and child interaction. Parenting Education Coor- dinator Nancy Johanson Paul said, “In the past two years, photographers have captured wonderful mo- ments showing the joy, fun, teaching and learning that happens between adults and children through their inter- action together. I am very ex- cited to see this year’s amaz- ing photos!” Plan to submit photos by June 30. Photos can include a parent, grandparent, child care provider, preschool teacher, or other adult. Submissions can in- clude up to five photos. Eight photos will be chosen for a community photo display, and each of those eight pho- tographers will receive a $50 gift cer tificate from G.Willikers Toy Store. Only Apr. 18th Jan. 5 pm 1pm 7th or · 6pm one winner will be allowed per family. Photos must show an adult and a child interacting to- gether, and must include a child age birth to eight years. All photos must be in JPG format, with a minimum of 300 dpi. Download an entry form at www. nextdoorinc .org/photo. Each photogra- pher can submit up to 5 pho- tos. The Columbia Gorge Par- enting Education Program of Hood River and Wasco Coun- ties would like to emphasize the importance of skilled and caring parents, grand- parents, foster parents, and child care providers in the lives of children. This year more photos are needed from Wasco County photogra- phers. Some of the pho- tos will be used in The Next Door publication “Parenting in the Gorge Guide” Septem- ber 2015-August 2016 . Parenting education helps parents and caregivers learn how to best support their child’s development and pro- mote the child’s success in school and life. In parenting classes, parents learn to have realistic expectations for themselves and for their chil- dren. The improved knowl- edge of positive parenting practices and normal child development encourages lov- ing and skilled parenting, which helps ensure the child’s well-being.
