Back to School Amid COVID-19

Sadly, the pandemic shows no signs of slowing down. Face masks are now a basic necessity. They are at the top of back-to-school shopping lists, along with pencils and backpacks. In many U.S. states, face coverings are obligatory in public spaces. Luckily, manufacturers have come up with creative designs. For example, Lands’ End and Disney are now selling fun masks for kids. Their designs comply with the CDC’s requirements. Crayola has partnered up with SchoolMaskPack to create packs of color-coded reusable masks. 

Sanitizers are also essential. Desks and other surfaces must be wiped several times a day! Staples and other chains sell disinfectant sprays and hand sanitizers. These products are essential, as they can keep your kids safe.
