The month of August is finally upon us. With this new month comes many things like the last full month of summer and the summer solstice. However, there is one event in particular that most families with children are aware of. This, of course, is none other than the beginning of the new school year! Very soon, if not already, parents and children alike will be raiding the shelves of their local retail stores to pick up the various school supplies that everyone loves to shop for. If you have children in school, encourage them to do their best this year so they can become the next great lawyer, teacher, doctor, or one of the many other professions! I hope the transition to the new school year goes smoothly for you and your family!
