October is bringing a whole galaxy of sky-shows our way! Mark your calendars and don’t miss these cosmic highlights:

🔭 Oct 6 – Hunter’s Moon: the first full moon after the equinox will be a supermoon, big and bright.

☄️ Oct 8 – Draconid Meteor Shower: best viewed right after sunset, sometimes putting on a surprise show.

☄️ Oct 19–21 – Orionid Meteor Shower: fast, bright meteors from Halley’s Comet streak across the sky.

🌠 Oct 21 – Comet C/2025 AG (Lemmon) makes its closest pass by Earth, a visitor from deep space!

Grab a blanket, a warm drink, and maybe a friend or two – October nights are going to be out of this world.

Inconvenient Truths: Raising Thriving Kids!
They grow when families, schools, and communities give them opportunities to discover, connect, and lead.

Here are 5 truths that remind us why activities and family connection matter for every child:
1️⃣ Extracurriculars = Essential, Not Extra
2️⃣ Family Connection Shapes Futures
3️⃣ Belonging Matters
4️⃣ Leadership Starts Young
5️⃣ Discovery Is the Difference

Together, these aren’t just “nice-to-haves” – they’re the building blocks of confident kids, connected families, and thriving communities. 🌟

👉 Connection doesn’t happen by accident — it happens when we show up.
Find ways for your kids to discover, your family to connect, and our community to thrive in our calendar and directory at goTGVG.com (link in bio).
