Kids can get so caught up in the excitement of back-to-school shopping that they forget about how they can utilize the supplies they buy.  

Picking out new scissors and notebooks might be fun all on its own, but, as Subaru knows (it's their goal to make the pursuit of knowledge available to as many minds as possible), the learning part is the best part.

If you're wondering how you can help, ask yourself: What will get them feeling confident in the classroom now that they have the right tools? Will it be volunteering to help run an after-school art club? Or taking time out of your schedule to share about life as a scientist on career day? Whatever it is, when kids have the right tools (and the right role models), they're instantly more prepared to succeed. 

Whether your child is a science whiz or a gifted painter, stay sharp on ways to keep them inspired! And in the meantime, make sure they're well equipped by shopping the below checklist!
