PRCS Offers Sensory Saturday @ Alexander West Park July 20
Join Culver City’s Parks, Recreation, and Community Services at Culver West Alexander Park on July 20th and August 3rd for Sensory Saturdays!. “Sensory play is any activity that stimulates the senses. There are five main senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch, and two other less-known senses, vestibular (sense of balance) and proprioceptive (sense of where each body part is in relation to the rest of the body). The more kids use their senses, the more they develop them and the ability to learn using them,” Ellen Metrick writes on the Genius of Play. “Sensory play is essential for all kids to learn how their bodies work, and how to process and interpret the world around them. Sometimes the reality of a special need, like Down syndrome or autism spectrum disorder, provides a few barriers, but the need and importance of sensory play remain the same for all children.”

USC's greatest sports streak has nothing to do with football
In one week, the 2024 Summer Olympics begin in Paris. USC will send many athletes to France in search of gold medals and athletic glory. USC is a football school, but USC is also an Olympic powerhouse. The greatest sports streak at USC could be the football team’s 34-game winning streak from the middle of the 2003 season up to the 2006 Rose Bowl against Texas. It could also be the run of five straight College World Series championships from 1970 through 1974.
