Hillsboro police storytime for kids during coronavirus quarantine gets boost from Hollywood actress (video)

A Hillsboro police initiative has gotten some extra attention of late — thanks to a popular Hollywood actress.

The agency's Facebook page is peppered with videos of police employees reading children's books to kids who are staying home during the coronavirus outbreak.

There's a tale of "Clifford the Big Red Dog." Some Dr. Seuss. And the classic "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie."

But the video that's gotten the most attention is Officer Stephanie Davies' rendition of "Goodnight Moon," which she reads aloud and using sign language.

"Goodnight, Moon" by Margaret Wise Brown, illustrated by Clement Hurd (published by HarperKids Books) - read by Officer Davis of #HillsboroPoliceDepartment

'It's gone': What the loss of summer camp means for kids

Gambar
NEW YORK (AP) — It wasn't just the leadership opportunities or seeing his best friends or even escaping months stuck at home because of the coronavirus pandemic that had Rory Sederoff thinking 2020 would be one of his best summers ever. This would have been the Toronto teenager's 15th year at Camp Walden, a sleepaway camp in upstate New York where he has spent every summer since he was 3 months old. He had already started rehearsing the speech he was going to give at the end-of-summer banquet, and imagined the exact tree by the waterfront that he would pick to be named in his honor. For 14-year-old Rory, whose parents work at Walden, camp is where he feels most like himself — disconnected from screens and open to new opportunities. "This summer, I would do many things that I won't really be able to do again," he said. "It's a summer filled with opportunities that now won't happen. There's no way to get

Kids Clothier French Toast Pioneers a Pandemic-Era Necessity: The Socially Distanced Photo Shoot

Now that the United States has begun to reopen, apparel brands are hoping for the return of shoppers—and perhaps even permitting themselves to think optimistically about their autumn collections. After all, fall is just around the corner, and many shoppers start looking for chilly weather clothing as early as July. But as with so many other facets of business, the pandemic hasn't just changed shopping patterns but marketing, too. Few brands are feeling that shift as acutely as French Toast. As a maker of accessibly priced school clothes for kids, the 35-year-old label stakes much of its vitality on back-to-school shopping. And since parents will start thinking about school clothes in just a few weeks, now's the time to get the creative work done, since it's all scheduled to go live on June 30. The question was: Where do you even begin? Nobody's sure when kids will be heading back to school, much less what school's going to look like once they g
