Did you know the end is just as important as the beginning? Closings, completions and round ups make for great celebration. \u00a0Here are a few baby steps to get this school year \u201cdone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Spend an hour culling through all the papers that have come home this year. Decide what is precious and sneak the rest out the door. \u00a0With those final touches, you will finalize this year\u2019s school memories.\u00a0 Be brutal and know what “precious” means to you.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clean out your own paperwork from school activities.\u00a0 Finalize what you will be passing along to the next boy scout leader, PTA volunteer or church Sunday School teacher. Pass the papers along before the end of June so you are ready to begin fresh for your new volunteer opportunities.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Print all the photo memories from this year using automated services. Only 6% of photos are being printed, so choose the most precious.\u00a0 Archive the photos on cd, dropshots, or other medium to clear off your camera for summer memories to come.<\/p>\n
Evaluate and donate kids clothes that are too small.\u00a0\u00a0 Shorts, tees, and other summer attire from last year may not fit.\u00a0\u00a0 Decide how many you need of each for this summer, take a little shopping trip, and be ready.<\/p>\n
Host a family celebration for the end of the year. Too often we miss these opportunities to give our kids a hug and praise for their successes each year.\u00a0 Bake or buy cupcakes, purchase ice cream and have an end of the year grand slam celebration.\u00a0 Making the most of every day makes a big difference!<\/p>\n
