As the school year draws to the close, a number of students may be dreading that last report card even more than they are looking forward to summer vacation. Kim Bellini, a former teacher, said children are not the only ones concerned. “Report cards can cause a lot of anxiety and stress both for kids and their parents,” she said. “Students may feel inadequate, while parents worry about how bad grades will affect their kid’s future.”

Bellini is the owner and director of The Woodlands LearningRx, a brain-training center that focuses on improving cognitive skills – those abilities like processing speed, attention, logic and reasoning, visual and auditory processing, and memory. Throughout the month of May, The Woodlands LearningRx is offering a discounted skills assessment test to students who bring in a report card.

In honor of Military Appreciation Month, South Montgomery County YMCA and U.S. Troop Support Foundation will be collecting donations to be made into care packages to send to our military men and women of all branches of service who are deployed in harm's way.
