School starts tomorrow! We've organized our school supplies, layed out tomorrow's outfit and made a yummy lunch. I was interested in what everyone else is up to...
ABC 15 News in Phoenix reports:
"The best thing parents can do is get their own homework done well before summer vacation winds down," said Angie Hicks, founder of Angie’s List. "Many providers are already getting booked up; get in now to get the best service and to have time for any last-minute emergencies."
Angie’s List recently polled its members nationwide about their back to school plans. Here's their list:
Going to the pediatrician: About two-thirds of school age children will head to the doctor before the school year begins. North Scottsdale Pediatrics is at 480-860-8488.
Before and after school care: Consider The Boys and Girls Club.
Hiring a tutor: More than one-in-four-kids have used a tutor in the past and another one-in-three might require one this year. Call the best! Dana Herzberg @ On Track Tutoring Tutoring 480-563-5588.
Getting pictures taken: School pictures matter to families. Most schools schedule their photo day early in the school year. How about getting a family photo!
Taking music lessons: 40 percent of Angie’s List members said their child or children will take up music this year.
Getting your computer up to speed: The majority of poll respondents will not be buying a new computer this school year.
School uniforms: Nearly one-quarter of Angie’s List respondents say their child is required to wear a uniform to school.
Taking driving lessons: Will you have a student driver in the household this year? Car crashes are the leading cause of death among teens. Make a donation to www.lisajohnsonfoundation.org and learn what you can do to keep your teen safe!
Time for a haircut: Your child wants to make a good first impression at school, so make sure they are a cut above with a great hair cut.
I cut my own kids hair this year and we used the money we saved to go to the Waterpark!
Happy First Day of School To You!
