I know it doesn't seem possible, but for many the Fourth of July holiday signals the half way mark of summer break. It's hard to believe that summer break is already half over but in just about a month, our kids will be stuffing their backpacks full of supplies and getting ready to head back to school. Before that of course, comes the back to school shopping (and let's not forget the dreaded labeling...anyone who has written their child's name on 24 pencils knows exactly what I'm talking about).
This year, I encourage you to purchase those supplies locally - it's a great way to make your money mean more in McLean County. Learn more about this and find a great list of places to purchase your back to school gear in this week's newsletter. Also this week, learn how your child's posture may be affecting their health, enter to win passes to this year's Baby Expo and more, including this week's events. Don't forget to mark your calendar's for Miller Park Zoo's Back to School Ice Cream Social with B-N Macaroni Kid on August 9th. We'll be sharing more details on that as we get closer to the date.
Enjoy your macaroni!
