Holy cow! My kiddos go back to school on August 18th. My ten (almost 11) year old starts middle school (6th grade) and my 'lil booger (4) starts preK.
That seems earlier than usually to me, but my sister's girls start even earlier! August 12th!!!!
Anyway, my primary contribution to this thread is the bestest most wonderful lunchbox I've ever found: http://www.laptoplunches.com/
We purchased one just after my daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease and I realized packing her lunch was going to be a daily occurance (no more hot lunch for us), but also that packing gluten-free foods that taste good just don't conform to traditional baggies.
I won't get too into the obvious green factor with this lunchbox, but it is also a way to pack a lunch with no additional waste like sammich bags and food packaging.
Anyway, any other back to school tips? It's the first year Victoria will have a locker and we're currently debating to buy or make locker shelves.
