Back to School season is in full swing- some of Shane’s friends started preschool last week & the rest of our town goes back to school tomorrow. While Shane’s not in school this year, we’ve been doing lots of learning here as well and will be beginning our light homeschool curriculum in a couple of weeks! There is SO much to do to prepare for back to school, no matter what grade your child is in- both for parents and students! If you’re feeling overwhelmed, Boys & Girls Clubs of America is here to help!

Boys & Girls Clubs of America {BGCA} is a program that keeps kids on track by providing recreational activities including sports and arts programs, and also educates by offering education & career programs as well as character & leadership programs. You can learn more about what Boys & Girls Clubs of America does here & even find a local club using the search tool on the right hand side of their page!

This year, Boys & Girls Clubs of America has teamed up with some great partners to make Back to School easier on everyone. You can find all types of information for preparing for back to school on their Back to School website, including time management tips and a guide for parents of middle and high schoolers to keep their kids on track & engaged.

One of the great partners that BGCA has partnered with is Disney, who along with BGCA created the Tools for School initiative, which includes a pop-quiz style game that you can play- and for every question you get right, supplies are donated to the Boys & Girls Clubs! {Click here to play!}

Another one of the BGCA partners, jcpenney, is making it easy to donate to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Any time you’re shopping at jcpenney, you can simply round up at the register and jcpenney will donate the difference to BGCA as part of their jcp cares program. Easy enough! {While you’re at jcpenney, be sure to get your kids in grades K-6 a haircut- they’re free for the entire month of August at any jcpenney salon!}

Going back to school can be stressful all around, but at least you can feel more prepared after utilizing all of the tools available from Boys & Girls Club of America!

How many kids are you sending back to school this year? What do you do to prepare them- and yourself?
