The 2025 BACK TO SCHOOL Guide is HERE!
While back to school means the end of summer – or at least the end of summer vacation – it also means fall is just around the corner, and it is time to think about ways to keep your kids active, stimulated and creative – all while helping them be successful at school!
We are so lucky there are so many amazing programs (think music, sports, the arts, and more) all available locally! AND… Many businesses who joined our guide are offering exclusive discounts for mentioning the GLAM Back to School Guide!
A special thank you to Eastwood Towne Center for their generous sponsorship of the 2025 GLAMoms Back to School Guide. Be sure to stop by Eastwood when you are shopping for school clothes – you are sure to find just what you need!
Here is to a fantastic 2025 – 26 school year! We look forward to hearing all about it! 😊
