If you haven’t been avoiding the calendar like the plague, I’m sure you’re well aware that Back to School is just around the corner or might even have hit you like a ton of bricks already. While we still have a few weeks of summer left around here, back to school prep is in full swing. We’re getting AJ ready for his sophomore year, J ready for another year of homeschooling and the little guys set up for some learning at home with mom.
But we want to help you get ready for another school year of fun and learning, too! I have teamed up with 7 other amazing bloggers for some fabulous back to school treats! We’ve been preparing for weeks and are so excited to share with you…
“Fill the Backpack”
The Parent. The Student. The Teacher.
“Fill the Backpack” is an exciting back to school online event taking place across 8 blogs from August 16th – September 16th . We have partnered with Volunteer Spot and this event will be sponsored by Ziploc Brand and 20th Century Fox as well as other brands that have contributed to filling the backpack!
We will be giving away 16 backpacks overflowing with back to school surprises and hosting a Dream Classroom Contest for teachers and parents to submit a 200 word essay describing their dream classroom. Two entries will receive $500 to classwish.org to help assist in the building of the classroom of their dreams.
