BIZ BITS TIP OF THE WEEK Back-to-school savings tips for parents Back-to-school season is in full swing and parents are busy completing their shopping lists. Between new books, school supplies and the latest gadgets, sticking to a back-to-school budget is no small feat. Here are some tips for parents looking to uncover the best back-to-school deals: n Host a back-to-school swap: Gather other parents for a back-toschool swap. Encourage them to bring school-related items they no longer need, including clothes, sports equipment, backpacks, books and supplies. Not only is it a great opportunity to help save a little cash, you can get rid of any unused items you have as well. n Shop local: It’s easy to default to buying school supplies online out of convenience, but traditional brick-andmortar stores have become increasingly competitive for your dollars. In fact, many stores will match online prices if you show them the same item is available online for less. n Set a budget: Like holiday shopping, it’s best to approach back-to-school shopping with an established budget for each child. Pre-determine what you’re going to spend on the essentials such as backpacks, supplies, clothes, shoes and technology so you’re less likely to overspend when purchasing. This could also be a powerful lesson for older children, so consider including them in some decision-making and buying processes if you feel they’re ready for it. n Plan ahead: If you know your child will have school-related expenses later in the year (e.g. athletic equipment or a class trip), begin saving for them now. The more you’re able to save ahead of time, the less stress you will feel when the time comes to pay for the expense. — Brandpoint

These tips come from Penny De Los Santos of National Geographic. Consider showcasing the ingredients as well as the finished product. Think about how people relate to food, and take photographs of the food vendors and chefs. Give yourself time to get a feel for the subject. Think about how to tell a story with food, including the messy spoon. Try going behind the scenes to see where food is being prepared. Give your photo a sense of place by showing how it feels to be where you are. Focus on how people are gathering around a table to share a meal. Try to keep the featured food the focus of the photo. Be alert and look for spontaneous moments.

Ms. Pelmas. Each fall, the school’s Parent Network for Diversity also sponsors a “welcome” event, helping girls and families feel at home at Winsor. Winsor’s lessons—and friendships—stay with girls for their lifetimes. The college choices of Winsor graduates reflect the strength of both the school and its students. While college is in girls’ immediate futures, Winsor truly prepares them for life. “We’re excited to share why Winsor is such a special place,” says Pamela Parks McLaurin, director of admission and financial aid and a Winsor graduate herself. When she talks to girls, she weaves a simple invitation into her conversations: “Challenge yourself. Enjoy yourself. Be yourself.” The admission team looks carefully at every girl who applies, and seeks girls who will thrive here. Intellectual curiosity, academic ability, motivation, a generous spirit, and a respect for difference are all part of what Winsor seeks. On Monday, Nov. 12, the school’s annual Admission Open House will offer interested families a firsthand glimpse of Winsor girls and teachers in action on a typical day.

We’ll see you in class.

Join us for a typical morning with school in session, and explore all that Winsor means to academically promising girls.
