So you’ve submitted college applications, sent letters of recommendations, and taken your SAT and ACT tests. You’ve done all you can to convince the schools of your choice that you belong on their campuses. What now?

Reading the assigned material in college allows you to effectively participate in class, often a large contribution to your final grade, and helps you better understand the information professor lectures about in class. Last but not least, you are paying to enroll in your classes, so don’t waste your (parent’s) money!

Research has shown that students are able to learn better when they’re well nourished, and eating healthy meals has been linked to higher grades, better memory and alertness, and faster information processing. One reason for this is that foods that are rich in fiber, protein, and healthy fats such as eggs, yogurt, apples and oatmeal keep the body feeling full longer, providing enough energy to focus and stay alert throughout the entire day. As a student or a parent, how do you find time to pack lunches that are healthy, tasty, and don’t take hours to prepare? One simple way that you can ensure your student is getting enough of the nutritional foods that they need is to pack foods from every color of the rainbow.
The Every Student Succeeds Act was officially signed into law in December by President Obama. The new law’s more flexible approach to school accountability and student testing are expected to benefit the education system overall. The law replaces a highly criticized No Child Left Behind Act that has governed schools since 2002.
