It’s time to think about going back to school. There are the typical supplies needed: pencils, paper, calculators, binders, homework folders, etc. If a student is entering junior high, there are many other things to consider: use of lockers, changing of classes, and implementation of new rules. What if a student needs to use a…
It’s crazy to think that school is starting so soon; already we see all the stores with their Back to School Supplies Sales and Supply Lists. So basically in a month, many schools in North Dakota will be in full swing. I came across a website of a nonprofit organization, Understood, that looks interesting. Their…
