Center holds Schreiber Summer Olympics
T
he Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development held the Schreiber Summer Olympics from July 22 to Aug. 2. Kids in speech, occupational, and physical therapies participated in traditional Olympic activities with a twist. From field hockey, tennis, badminton, and cycling to judo, boxing, and basketball, each special event was tailored for the Schreiber Center kids. Taking advantage of the additional space from the center’s recent expansion, children participated in activities outside in the new therapy garden and on the playground, as well as indoors in the new private therapy treatment rooms, specialized occupational and physical therapy gyms, and speech therapy suite. Indoors, children practiced their fine motor and speech skills with Olympic-themed matching games, sensory bins, and worksheets.

At Sky Bridge, kids’ imagination knows no boundaries BY JEFF FALK
Kids love to discover. Kids love to be independent. Kids love to think. Kids love Sky Bridge. The High Foundation Sky Bridge, designed and fabricated by Luckey Climbers, is the Lancaster Science Factory’s latest hands-on exhibit for young learners. It represents the best kind of ingenuity, the kind that inspires
others to be creative. “More than learning, it’s about inspiring children,” said Amanda Bakay, the Lancaster Science Factory’s director of programs and communications. “When they see it and get inside of it, they start to realize they could create something like this one day. It sparks an idea like, ‘What did someone have to do to think this thing up?’” Part jungle gym, part science
