June is here and summer has officially begun! In the midst of all the summer activities, it's important to take time to care for yourself and time to enjoy your family.
 
If you're looking for fun and educational activities for your children, don't forget to check out our Summer Recreation Activity Guide. There is a program for everyone, including swim lessons, dance, soccer, tennis, STEAM programs, camps, and more! These classes fill up quickly, so be sure to sign up soon!
 
With the summer heating up, there's no better place to cool off than the Aquatics Center! Your CRC membership includes full access to the Aquatics Center all summer long. You can splash around on the water playground, splash into the pool from one of our two large water slides, or race across the inflatable obstacle
course with your friends while enjoying a break from the heat. Have a great start to your summer! 
The full summer schedule is available on our website: https://www.morgan-hill.ca.gov/196/AC-Summer-Season

April 1st- Oct 31st: Watering Day Changes  
Water is always a precious resource in Morgan Hill and with this in mind, our permanent watering restrictions have been designed to best manage the City's potable water supply. These restrictions will help us avoid or minimize the effects of drought, climate change and the unreliability of the imported water infrastructure that serves the City of Morgan Hill.
From April 1, 2019 through October 31, 2019, watering is limited to three days a week.
 
  • Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays for odd numbered addresses
  • Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays for even numbered addresses
  • No watering on Wednesdays
  • Irrigation is allowed before 9 AM or after 7 PM
  • Watering is limited to no more than 15 minutes per station

Developmental Asset of the Month

 
JUNE
Asset #15
POSITIVE PEER INFLUENCE
Young person's best friends model responsible behavior.
 
  • Model responsible behavior around your youth.
 
  • Ask your youth to share about their friends and how they influence on them. Do they build you up or drag you down?
 
  • Find out what are the different youth clubs in school or community programs available for your youth that provide positive influence.
 
  • Youth - ask your parents what they think of your friends. Parents can be good sources of advice on friendship.
