Close the Book on Another School Year

Summer is officially here! That’s right, today marks the first day of the season. Bring on the barbeques, swimming pools and baseball games.
By now, school has closed for the summer or is just about to, and you’ve likely removed many of the papers and classroom projects that once adorned the refrigerator. Quite often, all those report cards, art projects, certificates and tests you saved throughout the year end up turning yellow or gathering dust in a file folder or box somewhere. Why not collect them in one place and make something that will save room while preserving memories of an A+ book report or fabulous finger painting?
A “School Year in Review” book is a super simple and cute way to organize the important and memorable projects from your children’s school year, while preserving a wonderful keepsake for them down the road. There are a few ways to go about creating one (so rest assured, non-crafters!). One of the easiest ways is to slip each document into sheet protectors and clip into a regular three-ring binder. Fill in extra pages with recital programs, pictures from field trips or Valentine’s Day cards. You can select binder colors based on your child’s school mascot or favorite color, and label the spine with the grade they just completed. Let your kids join the fun by having them help decorate the covers of the book. For a more formal look, you can even take all of the documents to a FedEx Office location, and have them laminated and spiral-bound to create a more permanent keepsake.
Keep an eye out for more fun summer projects coming your way from the Out of Office team!
