Dear Expert Educator,
I think learning is important but the first day of school is
coming up soon and I have NO money for school supplies. We just have enough money to live and there
is no money in my budget for anything else.
What am I supposed to do? Stressed
single mom of two.
Dear Single Mom of Two,
You are right, the first day of school is quickly approaching, in some areas the first day of school is actually today. All students should be prepared for their FIRST day of
school. However, before you stress out
or rush to the store to purchase items take some time to look at the required
list of supplies (most schools post them online). Next, take inventory of what you already have
at the house. You would be surprised how
many pens, pencils, folders, paper, eraser, markers, crayons, lunch boxes, etc.
that you already have. Copy down or
print the supply list and check off all the items you have around the
house. Next check Grandma's house
(friends, neighbors, other family members).
People usually have a plethora of unneeded stationary that they would be
more than happy to give to you. They get
to de-clutter their homes all while donating the stationary towards a good
cause. Now that you have gathered all of
the supplies you already have at your disposal, check to see what local school
supply drives are taking place and when they plan to distribute. I am sure once you follow these steps you
will find that your children will be ready for the first day of school at
little to no cost to you. So go get
those children ready for school so that they can succeed academically and you
can hear people say "Your children are So Smart"! Contact us with questions or comments via http://www.theexperteducator.com/ or you can email smiller@theexperteducator.com.
