Smokey Haze at School and Back to School Shopping

Here at St. Anne Summer Daycare we are surviving the smokey haze with limited outdoor play ( morning only ) and 2 HEPA filters running in our classroom. ( Thank you to the parent that brought them in! ) I completed my back to school supply shopping list for my son.  I first made a budget and then bought Fred Meyer scrip from the school for our purchases. I used a extra coupon from the Fredy's store and received an extra 20 % off school supplies.  I later went to BIG LOTS to see the other themes of school folders and thought that the coupon, prices, and selection at Fred Meyer was better.   Our family saved several dollars by reusing my son's backpack, scissors, calculator, school supply box and lunch box from last year.  I am proud of him for keeping good care of those items.  It is also being "GREEN" recycling items still usable.  Happy Summer! Happy August! Happy Health! Ms. Sarah
