Are YOU ready for Back To School???

When you get ready to head back to school, your child’s teacher will provide you with a list of supplies that are needed for the students in their classroom, but there are a few basic must-have essentials that EVERY student needs at back to school time!
No matter if your child is headed to kindergarten or off to college, these basic essentials are necessary for all levels!
BACK-TO-SCHOOL ESSENTIALS:
  • Backpack – a sturdy backpack is an absolute must-have, especially for older children. Choose a backpack with padded straps and a wide base for comfortably holding school books and binders.
  • Pens and Pencils – you can never have enough pens and pencils! Younger students may need washable markers, crayons, and colored pencils. Older students may require highlighters, mechanical pencils, and erasable pens.
  • Water Bottle – Stay hydrated all day long with your personal water bottle. Stainless steel water bottles are a great choice for younger children, and glass bottles with a silicone sleeve are another option for careful older children.
  • Notebooks and Planners – Notebooks are required for most grade levels, and planners are a necessity to help older students to keep track of homework assignments, study sessions, and due dates.
  • Lunchbox – today’s lunch boxes come in all different shapes and sizes to suit your student’s needs. Choose one with adequate insulation to last until lunchtime.
  • Snacks – nutritious snacks are an absolute must to make it through the school day! Selecting protein snacks can also help to maximize cognitive function. Here are some options to consider: 
  • 2 KIND kids chocolate chip chewy bars - Tropicana Kids Organic Juice Drinks - Welch's Fruit Snacks - Munk Pack Oatmeal Fruit Squeeze - thinkKIDS Protein Bars - Clif Kid Twisted Fruit Ropes - Pirate's Booty White Cheddar Popcorn - Dannon Danimals Smoothies - Annie's Gluten Free Cheddar Bunny Tail Crackers - Munk Pack Oatmeal Fruit Squeeze - Jif To-Go Peanut Butter Cups

Pet of the MONTH

Meet Gracie and Sammy!
​
Here our 2 of Jennifer’s (HVAA manager) fur kids.  Gracie, the calico, is 2 and Sammie is 7.  They start Jennifer’s day off with furry hugs and loves wondering why they can’t take piano lessons.  Although she tries to explain the no pets policy, they just don’t understand.  So they nap all day while she is away scheduling students for their music lessons. When she arrives home they are there waiting to hear about her day.
