It’s that time, again, when the children are going back to school. Stay-at-home residents will benefit with quieter days and enjoying the last warm days by the pool in peace!
This might be a good time to take advantage of the mega sales on school supplies the next time you are Target or WalMart or your local drug store. Yes, you might need a package of pens or note paper, but consider the 10 spiral notebooks that are on sale for $1. What? You don’t need 10 spiral notebooks? That’s good! So maybe you can drop $5 and buy 50 notebooks and drop them off at a local high school, to help out with the students who can’t afford school supplies.  Other items that teachers and students can use that are dirt-cheap right now include binder paper, pencils, pens, markers, glue and glue sticks, calculators, crayons, markers, rulers…
So, even if you aren’t going back to school yourself, being a part of that surge of energy keeps you young. And doesn’t it feel great to help?
