Attention Shopaholic Parents (We See You )! We know it feels like just yesterday you were packing away sunscreen and pool noodles. But guess what? The whispers are true—eventually, school's coming. And while those enticing back-to-school sale flyers might be flooding your mailbox, fear not! We still need to pick out our new teacher outfits (fashionable sweater vests, anyone?). We wouldn't want you to miss out on those epic deals on neon highlighters and three-hole-punched everything. So, consider this your friendly reminder to: ✏️ Bookmark this post! It's ready when you're ready! ✏️   Sharpen those shopping pencils! You'll be all set by the time open house arrives (August 22--one month from today). ✏️   Distract yourselves with poolside puns! We recommend "feeling fintastic" or "beach day blues are a distant memory." Here's the link: [ 🔗 https://www.brf.org/page/supply-lists ] Stay tuned, future scholars (and their equally enthusiastic parents)! #tigrrpride
