Free Printable Lunchbox Notes

When I was teaching, my heart would melt a little bit when I saw a handwritten note from mom or dad in one of my students’ lunchboxes.  The parents never got to see the joy it brought to the faces of their children, but I promise you, those 30 seconds it took you to write that note made your child’s day.  I know a lot of you probably already do this, so I thought I’d whip up a cute set for you to use, and if you don’t, maybe this will give you some inspiration.  Enjoy!

or if you want blank ones…

Great Schools

As a parent and former teacher, I know how stressful it is to pick “the” school for your child.  Your child’s future success rides on the decision you make, so it’s important to do the right research and choose the best school for your family.  To help you with this daunting task, check out greatschools.org.  It’s an amazing resource for parents and gives honest feedback from families as well as state standardized test scores to assure you make the most informed decision for your child.  It’s not limited to elementary, middle or high schools either.  This great site even has stats on your local preschools and colleges.  It’s a wealth of information, check it out.
