Welcome to Week 1 of TLC’s Weekly Challenge.  In Jackson, maps are all around us.  We see them on the bike path, on trails, and in the national parks.  Maps are visual tools that help us find where we want to go. This week we are going to design our own maps leading to a treasure.  Complete the daily challenges below to create your treasure map.  What will be the treasure you hide?

1. Monday: Complete 20 minutes in IXL in reading or math. This will help your mind stay sharp this summer so you return to school ready to go!

3. Wednesday: Find a map of Jackson online or go to the visitor center at 532 N Cache st. Can you find your house? TLC? Can you find your favorite park or place to eat?
