Few things are scarier than hearing the theme from Jaws. And one of those things is back to school. Picture it, you are walking through Target and sipping that pink drink which is essentially summer in a cup, humming along to the song playing on the overhead speakers while mindlessly putting things into the cart (how does one thing ALWAYS turn into ten things at Target)!?

Then you see it. The banner hanging above all the school supplies. Usually, it’s towards the back of the store because let’s be honest, it’s bad marketing for Target if a teacher starts sobbing in the FRONT of the store. You take some deep breaths and start to scour all the new stuff for the school year and think to yourself, “Hey, maybe this won’t be so bad”.

Back to school can be scarier for teachers than it is for students and there are tons of ways to make it a little less stressful! I have compiled several back to school related posts, so make sure to check out any or all that sound good! Keep ya head up and have a great school year you rockstar!
