6 things to do during the final week of school
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS-TV) – It's Parenting Connection Tuesday, and 6 News is here for you with tips, strategies, and helpful reminders from child development experts on how we can be better parents and guardians. Today's topic: 6 things to do during the final week of school Some of us older parents can already hear Alice Cooper's 'School's Out' gradually getting louder as we enter the final week of the school year. Summer vacation starts for most mid-Michigan kids Friday afternoon. This week is usually fun, which includes things like field days, yearbook signings, and parties… but with all the excitement, sometimes families forget a few things they wish they had done before the year wraps up. Child development experts say, try to do these 6 things before school's out for the summer that'll all go a long way for creating great memories: Take a last day of school picture and don't just keep it in your smartphone, print a copy out. Work with your kid on a memory scrapbook. This can include pictures, but other things like awards or symbolic items. Make a time capsule. Fill something up that includes items that were popular or newsworthy over the past school year. Have your child write a letter to their future self. Have your child write thank-you notes to their teachers, coaches, and adults who helped. Plan a last day of school surprise with your kid, like going for a scoop of ice cream. None of these takes much effort — and many years from now, child development experts say, your kids will thank you for making them do it. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Story behind Alice Cooper's name as band set to reunite after 50 years
News of Alice Cooper's band reuniting for a new album has led to a renewed interest in the origins of the band's name. This marks the first time in 51 years that the band has regrouped, and the story behind their name remains somewhat enigmatic. A popular myth suggests that the band derived their name from a Ouija board session, but this theory has been debunked. One fan took to Reddit to share this legend, writing: "The legend says the band got the name 'Alice Cooper' from a Ouija board." However, another fan clarified that this tale was fabricated, and the true genesis of the group's name is far more clever than the sensationalism of Ouija boards. In reality, the band selected the name Alice Cooper to provide a stark contrast to the darker theatrics of their music. When the band disbanded, the lead singer legally changed his name to Alice Cooper to continue touring. A post on the r/todayilearned subreddit explains: "Alice Cooper was originally the name of a band. To avoid legal complications when he started his solo career, the band's lead singer had his name legally changed so he could continue to tour under the Alice Cooper name." Fans have since lauded the 'School's Out' songwriter for his dedication to the band and his decision to change his name. The band is set to reunite for the first time in over half a century and release a new album this July. Drawing parallels between the reunion and riding a bike, Cooper reflected on the band's seamless return to the studio to lay down tracks for 'The Revenge of Alice Cooper'. He mused: "Isn't that funny after 50 years? All of a sudden it just falls into place." Bob Ezrin, the producer behind the scenes, observed that despite the passage of time, the band's essence has remained remarkably unchanged since their peak. He noted that while their collaborative efforts have matured, the signature "interplay" that defined the band in the 1970s remains intact.

"They just revert to type. They revert to who they were as kids when the first got together... and make music together like they did 50-some years ago." A 14-track album, slated for release in July, pays tribute to the late guitarist Glen Buxton, who tragically passed away at 49 in 1997. Cooper expressed his desire to recapture the band's original magic, acknowledging that while his vocal style has evolved, the themes explored in their music remain as dark as they were during the band's heyday. He elaborated: "The original band has a darker sound, and a heavier sound. It's a very different personality, and I even sing differently when I sing with those guys."
