Dear Readers,

Welcome to the winter issue of Sports & Activities Directory! I am sending out my best wishes to all of you for a happy and healthy holiday season, and a very joyous and prosperous New Year! We are so happy to be back publishing and getting our directory into your hands again. Our advertisers, cities and schools have been incredible with their support as we successfully relaunched this fall with our back-to-school issue. I think you can all relate when I say how much I appreciate getting back to a version of normal life again. I have been blown away by the amount of excitement there was when the kids got our publication in their backpacks and how much their parents missed having this resource in their homes. Thank you to each one of you who shared your excitement at seeing us in print again! We can’t do what we do without you!

In the pages ahead, you will find a multitude of events for you and your families to get out and celebrate the holidays. Check out our extensive Event Guide for all the details. This includes the Farmers Markets, Light Up the Park and the Coral Springs Annual Holiday Parade & Parkland’s Family Fun Fest. Don’t worry, we have you covered. Also, inside you will find winter break camps that will be offered while the kids are off. And, as many sports wrap up their fall seasons, remember to look through the sports directory (red tabbed) for winter and spring registrations taking place now. Also find ongoing afterschool programs and activities such as dance, gymnastics, coding, golf and tennis. Living in Florida offers a large variety of options for our children to enjoy while developing new friendships, physical and/or academic skills and overall enrichment as they challenge themselves with new activities. Be sure to check out all the great things our students and teachers are accomplishing in our local schools; from sports awards and academic accolades to community service projects and more. We continue to be so proud of our

Coral Springs & Parkland schools. They truly are the best! I hope you find a way to get involved in our community and get out and play. Take some time to enjoy our wonderful Florida weather, head out to the parks and enjoy the many outdoor events during this time of year. My best to you,

Kim Kadel
