noteworthy Your high-schooler or college student will feel more “young executive” than “student” with this funky portfolio/notepad - and you might even steal it on occasion when you’d like to look a touch hipper at work. $11.99 at Target, throughout Hampton Roads.

RIGHTEN THE MOOD off a II-don’t-want-summer-to-end d ’

student with pops of color that’ll remind him or her of the bright sun and the vibrant flowers of the hotter seasons.

Just maybe, the “heat” will lead to a touch of happiness when the school bell sounds.

SpongeBob, heart throb

write-on neon

Sure, the pre-K and elementary students love him, but so do the big bros and sisters. And yes, they do “color,” too, but not in coloring books: These days, the older kids create “interactive notebooks,” and they draw pictures to help them understand and remember key facts and concepts. So regardless of your student’s age, these crayons should be on the top of your supply list. $1 at Party City, throughout Hampton Roads.

This bright paper may be more of a wake-up call than your tween’s alarm clock, getting that middle schooler through a mid-day energy slump just before a loooong class of confusing civics. $3.99 at Walgreens, throughout Hampton Roads.

AVA

BRYCE

Ava takes layering to a new level sporting these preppy clothes from Gap Kids. She’s wearing blue suede ballet flats, polka dotted leggings, a yellow sleeveless T paired with a short-sleeve ruffle shirt and a very preppy blue knit jacket. The pink headband brings it all together, and don’t forget the glitter glam messenger bag!

For preteens, it’s back to the classic all American look this year. Bryce is wearing a Young & Reckless screen T, with a black studded belt and turquoise Levi’s. His black Nike shoes and socks and his TruckFit baseball hat says he’s ready for the classroom or the gym. The DC backpack offers just enough space for binders, textbooks and of course, his lunch. Clothes and accessories provided by Tilly’s.

TUG

2

Tug’s ensemble lets his personality shine through. Brown suede slip-on boat shoes are ideal for school days, as are his khakis, long-sleeve button down shirt and navy knit jacket. But it’s the skull and cross bone tie and blue and red striped bag that let you know he’s all boy and ready to prove it. Clothes provided by Gap Kids.

CUTTY

Remember the 80s? Cutty’s ensemble is a fun throwback beginning with red Vanns, RUCA khakis a Volcom screen T and of course, a RUCA sweatshirt. A Hurley backpack will transport Cutty’s school supplies from the bus to his homeroom. Clothes by Tilly’s.

PLAN AHEAD FOR SUCCESS Set up “School Central.� Using brightly-colored folders or containers, organize a simple filing system for school papers, artwork, etc. Make the area kidfriendly. If adding “Cat in The Hat� stickers to the folders makes your kids actually want to file their stuff, why not? And rather than saving all that artwork forever, let your child choose his or her favorites and keep only those. Send the rest to grandparents, aunts and uncles. Or use them for wrapping paper. Set up “Operations Central,� too. Every family needs a place for processing mail and paying bills, says Jasper. And it shouldn’t be the kitchen table. You’ll need an uncluttered surface to write on. Jasper suggests stocking this area with a calendar, scissors, pencils, pens, highlighter, tape, stapler, envelopes, address stickers, stamps, calculator,

notepaper, paper clips, letter opener, bank deposit slips and sticky notes. Your work space must be near the phone, since many pieces of paper can be eliminated immediately with a phone call. You’ll also need a filing cabinet (perhaps on rollers) and a wastebasket. Best place to open mail: Next to the wastebasket. Make organizing fun. Forget trying to cram all the Lincoln Logs back into their original box — if you can even find it. Instead, buy colorful baskets or plastic boxes for storing kids’ toys. Label the boxes for older kids and use pictures for small children, so they can see where everything goes. (At our house, at one point, we had at least 1,957 Erector Set pieces. Without those wonderful plastic bins, who knows what Mom and Dad might be tripping over at 3 a.m. on the way to the bathroom.) Make closets accessible. To get a jump start on those hectic

weekday mornings, position closet rods low enough so that kids can reach - and also hang up — their own clothes. And save the little hangers that come with kids’ clothes. They’re free, and young children are more likely to want to use their very own kid-sized hangers. Cut bathroom clutter. Give each child a different-colored plastic bin to hold personalcare items, then arrange bins on the bathroom shelf. (Another advantage: We won’t get into the whole head-lice issue here, but suffice it to say, if kid #1 comes home from school with an itchy scalp, you’ll be glad kid #2 has a separate box for brushes and hair goodies.)

CREATE ROUTINES THAT WORK Get the kids involved. Have a weekly chore list, posted on the fridge, and assign every family member his or her share of tasks. (Rotate jobs so one person isn’t always stuck with cleaning out the cat box.) Even young kids can help pick up clothes and toys, set and clear the table and feed the dog. Use rewards — and consequences. Post a list of choices for a weekly family reward for a job well done: family video night, pizza night — whatever lights a fire under your cleaning crew. On the other hand, if your helpers don’t follow through, don’t do the job for them, says Lockwood. “The deal I made with the girls was ‘No TV until the chores are done,’� she says. “Sometimes, there was no TV.�

Minimize morning madness. My hat’s off to you if you can pull this one off: Jasper suggests folding and storing entire outfits together (everything except shoes) in your kid’s drawer. In the morning, just grab an outfit. Maybe more realistic: Re-pack backpacks each night and place them by the front door to cut down on late-forschool craziness. Establish a to-do area by the front door. Drop off everything that needs to go out: papers to photocopy, DVDs to return, drycleaning, library books, etc. Recycle toys and clothes. Don’t ask your kids to throw out toys or clothes they’ve lost interest in or outgrown, suggests Lockwood. Ask them to recycle the items by giving them to less-fortunate children. Visit the hospital or shelter where their items are going so the kids have a clear picture of the good they’re doing, she adds. Also, rotate toys periodically so that those of current interest are handy and those that generate less enthusiasm go in temporary storage. When the “old� ones come back after a designated period of time, give them to charity if the kids still aren’t interested in them. Don’t forget the garage. Paint “parking spaces� on the garage floor for bikes, wagons, etc. This makes it fun for kids to put things away.

What you need to do: Depending on the method used, kids can help pop the corn, pour in a large bowl, and set aside. An adult should preheat the oven to 250 F. Kids can line a baking sheet with foil or a silicone baking sheet and set aside. Kids can measure out nuts, place in a medium-size bowl, and gently toss to combine.

Kids can measure out the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and salt, add to a heavy 2-quart saucepan, and stir to combine. An adult should turn on the stovetop to medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture reaches a boil, then allow it to boil for 5 minutes without stirring. Kids can measure out the baking soda and vanilla. An adult should remove the pan from the heat and stir in the baking soda and vanilla.

An adult should pour the sugar mixture over the popcorn, add the nut mixture, and toss to combine, then spread the popcorn mixture evenly over the baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. An adult should remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the popcorn to cool. Once cooled, kids can break the mixture into medium-size pieces. Makes about 12 servings.
