I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe summer! As we get ready to send the kids back to school, I want to remind everyone (actives, retirees, grandparents, friends and family) to read the section of my article last month entitled “Protecting Our Children.” We have all taken the time to buy new clothes, uniforms, school supplies, etc. so our kids can start the new school year ready to learn and enjoy being back in school with all of their friends. Part of our job as parents is to also ensure that our schools have done their part to keep our kids safe and to make sure every precaution has been taken to protect our kids while they are at school.
Please refer to those resources I’ve provided so you can inquire with your school officials about the comprehensive safety plan required for all schools.
In case you misplaced last month’s issue of the TBL, here are those resources again.
