Grocery Sales Week of July 13, 2009

Seems that we're just in the swing of things for summer and now back-to-school savings are starting.  Check out your school supply lists and make a list of things you need.  If you wait until late August when school starts, you're more likely to be paying more money and not find the selection you want.  If you have a couple of extra bucks, pick up some extras for your local food bank.  Most of them collect school supplies for kids they serve.  No donation is too small. 

Each week through the beginning of school I'll add the great deals I see on school supplies.  Most of the great deals will be for basic supplies. Not all supplies for each store will be listed.  I'll stick to the basic supply list, or items that are a great deal possibly worthy of a splurge.

Help the Red Cross and your local parks

Last year a Born Learning Trail was installed in Smith Park, Middletown, Ohio. A Born Learning Trail consists of 10 signs along a paved path located inside a city or country park. As you walk along the path, the signs provide tips for early learning. Some signs encourage children to talk about letters and shapes they see painted on the walk, while other signs point out how adults can talk with children about nature and things in their surroundings.



In 2009, the United Way of Greater Cincinnati – Middletown Area would like to install Born Learning Trails in city parks in Monroe and Trenton.

How Can You Help?

We need 2 or 3 people to:
@Chalk stencils on pavement near appropriate signs
@Remove stencil, connect the dots with chalk, and paint the shape inside the chalk lines
@We will provide you all of the tools needed (stencils, chalk, paint and paintbrushes).
@Last year, at Smith Park, it took two people 3 hours to complete.

If you are interested in helping build the Born Learning Trail, please contact me. We are hoping to be able to start the 3rd week of July.

Thank you!
