Back to School
Time to buckle down and get back to work. Here are three ways to get back in the swing of a new school year: • Take a moment on Sunday night to talk about ways you can make school mornings run smoothly. Ask for God's guidance in following his Son, Jesus, each and every day. • Put a note in your child's lunchbox with a message of love and support. • Establish good study habits early by setting a timer for 30 minutes. Encourage kids to focus with no media interruptions during that time.
