 As the 2020-2021 school year winds down to a close, it's safe to say parents and students are breathing a sigh of relief after a very challenging year.Many students flopped back and forth aimlessly between remote and in-person learning, staffing has been limited and parents, well we also received a crash-course in teaching, but we made it. Now as summer looms and COVID-19 restrictions begin to lift across many states including Western New York, many parents are asking "what's next?".

After spending a year and a half in close quarters with our little ones, I'm certain that we all need a break, even our kids from us lol Thankfully, many of the summer programs are re-opening this summer of course with some restrictions and limited availability. Here's a few that I've come across that have open enrollments to help get your kids back out there to be their active and social selves during the 2021 summer months....

KEEP READING: Here are the most popular baby names in every state

Using March 2019 data from the Social Security Administration, Stacker compiled a list of the most popular names in each of the 50 states and Washington D.C., according to their 2018 SSA rankings. The top five boy names and top five girl names are listed for each state, as well as the number of babies born in 2018 with that name. Historically common names like Michael only made the top five in three states, while the less common name Harper ranks in the top five for 22 states.
