Los Alamos Firefighters added to the fun at the Barranca Bobcat Bonanza Friday by filling the dunking booth. Parents were invited to take short online modules that address important family topics, then have a fun family night at the Bobcat Bonanza. Parents with concerns about their child’s sleep patterns, managing anxiety, resilience building, how families navigate screen time/social media, and how to initiate important conversations with their children were provided links to learning resources. Photo by VaLynn Purvis
