I can't believe that back to school is right around the corner! Some states have already started the new school year but here in New York City we don't return until the beginning of September because school ended on June 28th. Although we still have about a month left of summer vacation, it's never too early to begin organizing for the upcoming academic year. As a parent and an educator, I have to prepare on both fronts to make sure my sons and my students start off the year on the right foot. Every year, I depend on SchoolSpecialty.com to help me get all the materials that I need to launch a successful school year beyond just basic supplies like pencils and crayons.
