Do you hear the groans of the children and the secret (or not so secret hip, hip, hoorays of the parents)? The tax-free weekend is here and that only means one thing-school is about to start!
My kids tell me that they are not ready. I think that it is scary to start school again. You don't know who your teacher is, who is in your class, where you locker is and most importantly is your best friend in your class? I love the smell of new crayons, library books and the feeling of new folders. Yes, I know I am a freak. It comes from years of teaching Pre-school.
I heard thru the grapevine that Walgreen's had their 10 pack pencils for $.19 each! Toys R us had Crayola crayons 4/$1. There are some good deals to be found this week. Stock up. I saw at Hobby Lobby that they had foam board on sale. I can't remember the price though-sorry! Target had water colors $.50 each!
I am starting to think that it might be more cost effective to charge each child $25 and do some central buying. What do you think? Is the ritual better than the convenience?
