NEWS FROM THE NEST

Moms do so much for us. They feed us, encourage us, take care of us when we’re sick and love us no matter what. Mother’s Day is this Sunday, May 11, and there’s no better time to let Mom know just how awesome you think she is.

If you’re in the Kidz Club, you’ll receive a postcard from Zaxby's. You can use it to show Mom how much you love her by writing her a note or drawing a picture. If you’re not in the Kidz Club yet, you can make your own awesome card for Mom. Then join our club by signing up here: Kidzclub.zaxbys.com/clubvalues.

What a great way to show your Mom how much you care with some thoughtful words, or pictures to brighten her day!

Sometimes it’s just too cold to play outside, but don’t worry, there are many fun things you can do indoors. You can play games, make crafts, or spend time hanging out with family. You’re only limited by your imagination! So the next time you find yourself indoors, take a tip from me, LZ, and do something fun, like one of my favorites below:

* Have an indoor treasure hunt

* Put a puzzle or a model together

* Make a tent or a fort out of sheets or blankets

* Bake cookies (with an adult’s help of course)

These are just a few fun ideas, but I’m sure you can think of many more. Whatever you do, enjoy it and remember, the cold won’t last forever.  Before you know it, you’ll be back outside in the fresh air and sunshine!

Summer has ended and that means it’s time to get ready to go back to school. Preparing to go to school can be fun, buying new clothes, getting school supplies together and maybe even starting a new school.

It’s also the time when you reunite with old friends and meet new people to make new friends. Being a Zaxby’s Kid who Cares means that you are nice to everyone you meet in school. Think about how you’d feel if you were new and didn’t know anyone. Wouldn't it be great if someone were nice to you? That’s how you should think when a new student joins your school. Basically, just treat them the way you would like to be treated. Being nice makes others welcome and makes you feel good. You never know, you may even make a friend for life!

Hey Kidz, LZ here to tell you about a really cool thing that recently happened. Zaxby’s is now the Official Chicken of College Sports and Zaxby’s founder, Zach McLeroy, made a video to tell people the good news. And guess what?! Zuzy and I got to help make it! Talk about fun!

Check out our picture in the stadium with Big Z. We were totally hanging out with the B.C.O.C. (Big Chicken on Campus)! This is big news for Zaxby’s but don’t worry, we won’t let it go to our heads. But we will be watching football a lot more! So go team and go Zaxby’s!

Exercise has many benefits. Did you know that exercise is not only good for your body- but it stimulates your brain as well? 

When you start to exercise regularly, your ability to think, plan and make decisions improves. Scientists recently discovered that after you've exercised, your body produces a chemical that makes your brain more receptive to learning. So if you’re doing homework and you get stuck on a problem, go outside and get active. Play a game like basketball or soccer, then try the problem again, you might discover that you're able to solve it!
