So, school starts for my pre-schooler next week and I just can't believe it. The summer has seemed to go by way too fast. Like many of you, I've completed my back-to-school shopping. Some of my back-to-school purchases included new clothes, new shoes and new school supplies. To help have a "greener" back-to-school, we're reusing last year's back pack, lunch box and some pocket folders.
This year my pre-schooler will be attending a full day of school and that will include having lunch in his class room. While school lunches are available for purchase, I'll be packing my little ones lunch each day and will be purchasing some eco-friendly lunch containers for my son's lunches. That said, my giveaway will help you keep your school-aged kiddo's lunch safe and eco-friendly! A favorite company of mine is Wean Green. Wean Green is a Canadian company dedicated to providing parents with safe and environmental baby products that fit into every parent's diaper bag or lunch box! Wean Green's goal is to ensure that your eco-footprint does not grow faster than your baby's sweet little feet. My giveaway will include some of Wean Green awesome food storage options!
To enter this awesome Green Your School Year Giveaway, simply fill out the easy Rafflecopter form below. This giveaway will run August 13th - August 28th. The winner will be randomly chosen via Rafflecopter. The winner will be notified by e-mail and will have 48 hours to respond and confirm their prize, otherwise, a new winner will be chosen. Good luck! Open to US and Canada only.
Happy Back To School!

ReplyDeleteAs homeschoolers, we frequently use sidewalk chalk and sidewalks or email in place of paper. We reuse supplies which is especially easy since they don't have to have folders or notebooks in special colors (okay the local school supply list is getting freaky specific). We also don't buy supplies that we don't need.
