28 Days Until School Starts In The Valley So There's Still Time..

Having been out of school for over 10 years at this point it still amazes me every time August rolls around! The amount of school supplies and cool gadgets to grab, I'm talking to you disco ball locker hanger! :) Why didn't they have that when I was doing MY school shopping? :)

Seriously though, with 28 days left before school starts the big question is what CAN you do for fun?

I checked in with my fantastic friend and founder of #teentribe Lexi to fill me in with what the kids and anyone really can get into before these dog days of summer are over and here is what she said.

"You could start a lawn mowing business in your neighborhood and make a few hundred dollars for school clothes!
You could start walking or running around your neighborhood or at the track (early when it’s cooler) and get in better shape before school starts!
You could read an entire book just for fun!
Walk dogs at the Yakima Humane Society
OR....You could plan a trip to the river with your friends
Go for a hike
Serve at the Union Gospel Mission
Head to the library for a free class

Kids - bring easy suggestions to your parents!
