back to school

More than 800 Billings kids will receive a backpack full of school supplies, thanks to The Salvation Army.  With donations from Cenex Zip Trip, Spectrum and The Washington Foundation, The Salvation Army is able to provide K-12 students with school supplies before they go back to class...

Today was Back To School day for my daughter and, all-in-all, things went pretty well; however, there was a little bit of stress that could have been avoided if I would have planned a little better.  I thought I'd share these thoughts since I know I'm not the only parent that had these same issues today (or will have them on Thursday for District 2)...

Yes..it's only August, but the first day of school is less than a month away.

If the sight of all those school supplies filling the aisles of Billings retail stores has you in a panic, it's understandable. Parents with three children in elementary, middle and high school can expect to pay as much as $3,000 for school supplies and extracurricular activities for the 2015-2016 school year, according to the Huntington Bank Backpack Index released Wednesday.

The 'X-mas Jammies' family is back, and this time they're celebrating what every parent is looking forward to this time of summer: the beginning of the school year.

It's back to school time for most university students Monday, August 26, but instead of pencils and paper, many prospective Montana students are still lugging around firefighting equipment. Luckily, the Montana University System is working to help alleviate the stress those students might have in trying to make it to class before the bell rings.
