comparison shopping.

Review the school's dress code so you don't waste money on

inappropriate clothing.

A Reusable Water Bottle

Keep our children loving the planet! Especially during hot

months, a reusable water bottle makes all the difference. Keep

these facts in mind:

In response to public concern, manufacturers have

developed BPA-free reusable water bottles.

When you use a reusable water bottle, you help reduce the

production of bottled beverages and therefore, the landfill

and recycling burden of the bottles. Buying and using a reusable water instead of bottled water

saves you money over the long term.

In fact, Greeniacs.com reports that bottled water can cost

up to 10,000 times as much per gallon as tap water.
