Whether or not you are a parent preparing children for a return to the classroom next month, a teacher developing new lesson plans or are long past the classroom period of your life, back-to-school activity still impacts most of us in this community.
Stores are hoping to be tapped for the purchase of shoes, clothing and supplies. Transportation folks are getting vehicles ready for the first trek to school on September 8th. Dorms, apartment complexes and rental housing is being readied for the returning and new college students coming to our local higher educational institutions. Businesses are stocking their shelves and looking at their marketing and advertising plans in order to attract these young men and women as customers.
Drivers will need to be extra alert as children begin walking or riding the bicycles to school. Crossing guards are dusting off the STOP signs. Moms and dads are disbelieving that their sons and daughters are old enough to be in 1st grade or high school or off to college.
Let's make this a good year for our students and our community. Get involved with your local schools. Volunteer. Participate. Attend sporting and fine arts events. Share your talents and expertise with students.
