Did you see them this weekend? The giant bunny tracks? It looks as though the Easter Bunny once again enjoyed hopping through the streets of Maryland City and other local neighborhoods. Maybe we can all take on the Eater Bunny's challenge by taking to our neighborhood streets as well. The warmer weather brings many opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors with family and friends. Take the challenge to add a little healthier living to your lifestyle by adding an after-dinner walk each evening around Old Line Avenue or along the walking trail beside Brock Bridge Road. It is a great way to get some exercise and meet our neighbors.

Next week, Brock Bridge Elementary School encourages all families in our area to take a break from TV and rediscover the fun that families can have together, without the TV. The PTA coordinated several activities throughout its TV Free Week to facilitate breaking the habit of turning on the TV. Everyone is invited to join the PTA on April 20 between 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Laurel Skating Center. The next night, April 21, includes a Game Night at the Maryland City at Russett library. Meet family and friends at Chick-fil-A in Corridor Marketplace on Wednesday, April 22, between 5-9 p.m. for the restaurant shuffle. Join the school community on Thursday, April 23, for the annual Science and Technology Night where all of the wonderful science fair projects will be on display. Finally, spend time at home with the family on Friday, April 24, cooking up your favorite family recipe together. The PTA thanks Linda Stroud for facilitating this year's TV Free Week.

If you are looking for some extra Friday evening entertainment and friendship, then join the Maryland City Baptist Church April 17 as it hosts another enjoyable Dinner and a Movie.
