CALENDARS.COM’S ‘BACK TO SCHOOL’ ORGANIZATIONAL TIPS
My mother always had this book of a day planner that she couldn’t go anywhere without. It went from her desk at work, to her car, to her desk at home and ended the day on the kitchen table. We always knew where it was and to check it before we asked to do ANYTHING. I also had a calendar posted to my door with practices, work schedule, school events, and personal dates written on it so they knew where I was any given day. – Ashton, Marketing
In my family, school supplies are bought little by little, all summer long, so by the time school starts they are fully stocked and ready to go. Then the week prior to school starting we begin the morning and evening school routines, so no one is grumpy about waking up or going to bed once school starts. – Steve, Customer Service

She has a cubby for each child with their name on it where they place ALL school related articles: backpacks, permission slips, report cards, homework, etc. That way no papers are lost, misplaced, or mixed up with a sibling’s. Yes, she’s a VERY busy lady! – Jessica, Merchandising
We start by getting our school supply lists early. Then, I put a copy in my purse so that I always have it with me when I see a deal. Our “master” copies are kept on the back of the front door and things are checked off as I purchase them. Then I can always see when I’m heading out what things are left to buy! – Sarah, Marketing

Intrigued, Byron Daly began betting store customers, salesmen and townspeople that it would rain on July 29. The wager? A hat, which Daly always won. Daly’s son, John Daly, continued the tradition in later years, and today, Waynesburg’s Special Events Commission continues the tradition and has won hats from TV weathermen and celebrities, including NBC’s Today Show’s then weatherman Willard Scott, Jay Leno, Troy Aikman and the Dixie Chicks.
