]]>Imagine a child going back to school on the first day with a comfortable back pack, new shoes and that perfect binder to organize important paperwork. Showing up on the first day of school feeling prepared, confident and ready to conquer the new year. In order to feel like that you need all the essential back to school items. Unfortunately that list is getting longer and longer each year and it's getting harder for parents to get those supplies for their children. We need your help to make the first day of school sensational for the students in our communities.

It also saves time: It’s tough enough shuffling kids off to school in the morning without packing a lunch on top of it. As you might surmise, surveys show that these tasks tend to be shouldered by women; their plight, was made so rivetingly plain during the COvid-19 pandemic.

LFM College casting training plays a critical role in helping students prepare for college. Your students rely on you to ensure that they are prepared for the college admission process. Your goal is to convince your students that college is within their grasp.
College admission requirements are typically more stringent than high school graduation requirements. They often require a higher level of demonstrated competence in mathematics and science, and may even require a minimum number of years of foreign-language study. Make sure that all your students have the opportunity to participate in a college-prep academic program. Share with them what courses colleges expect to see on their transcripts.
In addition to course topics, it is important that you encourage all students to take the most rigorous and challenging courses suitable for their academic level. Successfully completing these courses — and doing well on the exams — demonstrates to colleges that students are capable of success at the college level.
