Back to School

I don't know how this summer went by so fast, but here we are, two weeks from September.  This time of year is all about Back to School, with some areas of the country already back in school.  Here in the Northeast we have about another week left of summer vacation.

Everywhere you go, people are talking about Back to School.  What you need to buy.  What is on sale.  But for a lot of people, this time of year is very stressful because they don't have the money to cover these necessities.  

With that thought in mind, please consider giving back when you buy your children's school supplies this year.  An extra package of markers or a couple of extra notebooks don't cost very much but they could mean a lot to the person recieving them.

Here is a link for donation locations across Connecticut.  Here is a link to Operation Backpack, which supplies thousands of homeless children in New York City with new, filled backpacks.  If neither of these locations are in your area, you can always contact your child's school district.

Back to school time is so exciting for children.  And it is important that all children feel good about themselves when they head back this year.
