back to school

    If the point was viral advertising, mission accomplished.     We even checked to see if it was just a spoof...nope, it's for real!    

When I was in about 7th grade, THEE thing to have was Tretorn sneakers. In 8th grade, you HAD to have at least 3 or 4 different colors of Chuck Taylors. As of late, the sneaker trend has been the brighter the better.  But if you prefer your gleaming white Adidas to APPEAR as though you just trecked through 3 inches of mud, they've done the work for you! ...

Teachers are often the adults that children spend the most time with (or, at the very least, they're in the top three), and when your child has a truly great teacher, it can be hard to find a good way to say thanks.

They made it!

Congratulations to Zoe Gilmartin from Harris Hill Elementary School, who was the winner of Joy FM's Best First Day EVER!! contest!

A new survey says 76 percent of parents are secretly happy the kids are going back to school.

It's one busy week!

It's that time of year once again. School is back in session. Don't be so glum about it. There are plenty of ways to make sure you have a successful year at school. Here's our guide to winning this year.

The kids are heading back to school, and it's time to start thinking about resetting their schedules so that they can get up early and be ready for the school day. Here are some things to keep in mind as school starts next week from Ron Clark, author of The End of Molasses Classes: Getting Our Kids Unstuck -- 101 Extraordinary Solutions for Parents and Teachers.

The weather might be more ice cream trucks and long days at the pool, but the calendar is inching towards yellow buses and new backpacks. Every parent knows about back-to-school clothes and back-to-school supplies, but nowadays, back-to-school apps are just as important.

We know going back to school can be a bummer (for the kids, we mean; parents, try to contain yourselves) -- but maybe this will help.

Teachers, thank you for all that you do!
