Kinnelon's Summer & Fall Recreation Programs, Text Caster, Too

Registration for the Summer and Fall Kinnelon recreation programs is underway. It started on May 11th and ends May 21st, 2009. Don't wait too long.

In case you didn't receive it from your child's school, do check out the Summer Newsletter from the Kinnelon Recreation Commission for yourselves. You'll note not only programs for kids, but also ... an adult co-ed Summer softball and information on using the tennis courts.

We registered for fall soccer - a big hit last season - and discovered that the Text Caster system in place for the school system, has been expanded to include the recreation programs. Hurray!!

Are you participating in the Kinnelon Text Caster system? If you aren't, I encourage you to do so. Whenever there's an announcement, emergency, closure, etc., you receive an email and/or text message. It's brilliantly simple and extremely effective. When you register, you select which school applies to you -- and now the recreation program --go through an authentication process and you are done.

To enroll, go to http://www.kinnelonpublicschools.org/, scroll to the bottom of the page and you'll see this message:

Sign up for KINNELON SCHOOLS ALERT! and receive important information about the Kinnelon Public Schools sent as text messages directly to your mobile phone, wireless PDA or pager. You can even receive the information via email. Click here to register.

When you try the system out, will you let me know what you think?

NOTE: For those of you interested in Little League T-Ball and Baseball, are you aware of the Tri Boro Little League for Kinnelon, Butler and Bloomingdale? I just heard about it yesterday from one of the Coaches. He says that few parents in Kinnelon know about the league.

See you on the Soccer field in September!
