Life is often difficult and we sometimes have a problem we with need help with. There are often people and programs that can us if we can only find them. 

Please take a look at our Community Resource page.  We recently added a wonderful resource, Wake Network of Care that helps you find services from finding food pantries to finding a bus. 

Students sometimes struggle with understanding our area’s bus system. The new Bus Transportation Page under the Community Info category gives info on all our local bus systems and links to help you find bus routes to some of our sites.

Families often struggle with finances and it can lead to conflict and stress. Not everyone knows how to budget and other basic money skills. It’s especially hard if you’ve recently come to this country and are not familiar with its financial norms.

Each year in Wake County at the end of August, kids in the traditional public schools go back to classes. Parents look for back-to-school sales for backpacks, lunches, notebooks, pencils and other school supplies. There are “meet-the-teacher” events and “Open house” events at schools.

Getting involved in your children’s school is a wonderful way to stay informed about what’s going on in their classroom. Be sure to help them with their homework and attend parent-teacher meetings and other school functions. It’s a great way to be involved with your kids  – and improve your English at the same time!

For all of you with kids in starting classes, we wish you a fantastic school year!
