School is out, and summer is here. It’s the perfect time to get outside and make new friends! We’d love for you to join us and our Community & Conversation Group for Summer Park Hops: a series of summer playdates.
These free playdates are sponsored by partners at The Education Plan, New Mexico’s 529 Education Savings Plan. The Education Plan is a smart, tax-advantaged way to save for future education expenses and help reduce the burden of student loan debt. Your account grows tax-free and withdrawals are tax-free if used for qualified higher education expenses such as tuition, room and board, books, fees, and computer equipment at a four-year university, community college, professional school, or trade school. The money may be used at schools across the United States, both traditional and online. Whether you want to save for education goals for a loved one or yourself, The Education Plan can help any aspiring student, regardless of age, career path, or socioeconomic status.
Park Hops are free for kids of all ages and their caregivers, moms, or dads. But please do RSVP at the links below so we can prepare to make each event fun for everyone in attendance.
