Creating a School Days Scrapbook

wifey — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 13:54:29 +0000

By Audrey Okaneko

My daughter had some incredible elementary school teachers. Each of them took photos of her throughout the year. With those photos I was able to create a school days scrapbook for her.

My other daughter did not have these photos as a base and so we started from scratch. I had saved all of her school photos grades K-12th. We created a cover page for each grade using one of her school photos.

Some grades we had photos of her teachers, other grades we did not. For the grades where we did not have photos of the teachers we either hand wrote or typed the teachers name and added the name to the scrapbook page. Even where we did have a photo of the teacher, we also added the name of the teacher.

As we went through our own personal photos, we found photos of school friends through out the years and added those to the appropriate school year.

When my daughter was in high school, she collected wallet sized photos from many of her friends. We were able to create many pages of her friend’s photos. One suggestion is to write the name of the person with the photo. Over time, we do tend to forget the names of those we attended school with. Have you as an adult, been to a 10 or 20 year high school reunion and recognized a face, but couldn’t put a name to it? So, add the names of the friends as you build the pages.

If you live in the same town as the school buildings, go and take a few photos of the school to add to the scrapbook.

We have moved many times over the years. Take photos of the houses associated with the various school years.

With small plastic sheet protectors, you can add items like report cards. We also have saved all awards both girls have received. All of these make wonderful additions to a school days scrapbook.

We have found many scrapbook kits, scrapbook stickers and scrapbook paper with a school days theme. These can be fun to add to your scrapbook.

Did you child write notes to the tooth fairy? I saved these to give to my kids when they were older. Consider adding these, again in a sheet protector to the school days scrapbook.

Your imagination is the only limitation to building a school days scrapbook that your child will cherish for years to come.

Before and After School Care…Or Sometimes Just After School Care…

wifey — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 00:15:44 +0000

We had a client ask about “Before and After School Programs” in New Jersey Schools and I decided to do a bit of research…. It seems most schools offer this service, with many utilizing the services of private companies or the Y.M.C.A The websites below give you detailed information. I will continue to add to this list as I research each area. Please note: The Before and After School program may not be available in all schools in any one district.. Please make sure you ask about the particular school your child will be attending as well as whether the program is Before, After or “Before and After”. Also note that some schools also offer a summer program as well.
