August Back to School News

August is here, marking the end of summer celebrations and the start of back-to-school preparations! We have an exciting month ahead, packed with fun and activities to make the most of this vibrant season. 

We are thrilled to support Mint Hill Elementary School by collecting Expo Markers and Crayola Color Pencils for the MHES PTA’s classroom supply drive! Let’s help our neighborhood teachers and students at MHES prepare for a fantastic 2024-2025 school year. Drop off your donations at our office in Matthews through Wednesday, August 21, 2024. Together, we can make a difference!

We are excited to welcome Heidi Drew Ligon into the world! She was born on July 26, 2024 weighing 6 pounds & 13.5 ounces. We can’t wait to see her in all the adorable Community Onesies! 

August is National Dog Month! Celebrate your furry friends by ensuring they have the best care possible. Here are three reasons why pet insurance can benefit you and your pet:
-Financial Protection: Unexpected vet bills can be costly. Pet insurance helps cover the expenses, so you don’t have to worry about the financial burden.

-Comprehensive Care: From routine check-ups to emergency treatments, pet insurance ensures your dog gets the medical attention they need, when they need it.

-Peace of Mind: Knowing you’re prepared for any health issues allows you to focus on enjoying time with your pet without stress.

As the summer winds down and the excitement of a new school year approaches, it’s important to ensure that your family is prepared for the transition. From organizing supplies to updating contact information, these simple steps can help set the stage for a successful and safe school year.

-Organize Supplies: Ensure your kids have all necessary school supplies and label them with their names.

-Update Contact Info: Confirm that the school has your current contact information and emergency contacts.

-Discuss Safety: Talk to your kids about safety protocols, both in school and on their way there and back.
