Dog Days Of Summer

Most students and staff around North America are enjoying their annual summer holiday, but as we get ready to flip the calendar on July thoughts of the upcoming school year start to loom larger.

August is a time when schools and parents prepare for the new term, purchasing school supplies, new school outfits, etc. The rush back to the classroom can be a hectic period.

We want to encourage both to try and think as "green" as possible when making these decisions. Whether it is notebooks, electronics, stationery, whiteboard markers, dry erase markers, folders, binders or books, there are eco-friendly alternatives available in all the categories. Look for non-toxic options wherever possible.

But you still have a few weeks of summer bliss left, so enjoy it everyone.
