Family · Cary
“Arrive ten minutes early to grab a seat before the five o'clock start.”
K-5th Adventures: Science Artists is a free, hands-on library workshop in Cary where elementary school students use art projects to explore scientific concepts like color and light. Children will learn about creative careers in STEM fields while completing their own interactive experiments. This program is designed specifically for children in kindergarten through fifth grade, making it an ideal after-school activity for early elementary students. The event is completely free to attend, and all project materials are provided by the library. The West Regional Library has a large, free parking lot, so you will not need to worry about finding a space or paying for parking. It is a smart weekday addition to your calendar because it offers a structured, educational activity that keeps kids focused and learning after school hours. Since it is hosted inside the library, you can easily pair the workshop with a weekly book haul for your kids.

A Raleigh mom walks through all eight expiration dates, how to apply at any point in the year, the CEP sibling gap that catches families with kids at two schools, and what meals actually cost.
