It’s getting darker earlier & the temps are getting cooler at night so you know summer is coming to an end soon. And with that it’s back to school time! Now, you may be rejoicing sending the kids back to school or you may be sad to lose that extra time with them. In either case they need to be prepared after that long break, right?
The days of sleeping in & eating whatever or whenever will be history!

Well August is National Back to School Month & Scholastic.com has put out a list of things you can do to make the switch from summer to back-to-school. I’ll highlight some of those here for you!
