Think twice before sharing back-to-school pics

Posting those adorable first-day-of-school photos is a tradition, but it’s easy to forget how much personal info we’re putting out there. Details like your child’s grade, age, or even their school can be all someone needs to track them down online. Harris County deputies warn that predators can use just a few clues to make dangerous connections. Keeping your posts vague—no school names, grades, or personal details—can go a long way in protecting your family. How do you balance sharing milestones with keeping your kids safe online? #Tech #BackToSchool #OnlineSafety

Westside’s back-to-school bash brings real support

Las Vegas families just got a major boost as Phi Beta Sigma and Zeta Phi Beta transformed Matt Kelly Elementary into a true community hub. Beyond the music, food, and fun, what really stood out was the hands-on support: backpacks packed with supplies for every student and fraternity members ready to cheer kids on for the first day. It’s more than a party—it’s neighbors making sure every child starts the year strong. How do you think these kinds of events shape our community? What else could we do to help students feel ready and welcomed? #News #LasVegas #BackToSchool

Dollar Tree School Supplies to Avoid!

Dollar Tree might seem like the go-to for cheap school supplies, but some deals just aren’t worth it. Crayons that break, glue sticks that dry out, and backpacks that barely last a semester? Hard pass. You’ll actually save more (and avoid kid meltdowns) by grabbing better quality at Walmart, Target, or Old Navy—sometimes for even less. Don’t let those $1.25 deals fool you! #Education #BackToSchool #SchoolSupplies

Oak Cliff families get a huge back-to-school boost

4,000 Oak Cliff students are heading back to class with brand new backpacks and all the supplies they need—without their families spending a dime. The annual back-to-school festival didn’t just hand out essentials; it also surprised over 100 families with $100 gift cards for new shoes. Parents shared how much this helps, especially with rising costs and last-minute school expenses. The event felt more like a block party, with food trucks, a kids’ zone, and even a job fair. For anyone who missed out, backpacks are still being distributed in the 75216 area. How do you think these community efforts shape the start of the school year? #Safety #OakCliff #BackToSchool

Back-to-School Prices Are Up—But Here’s the Hack

Back-to-school shopping is hitting wallets harder this year—think 20% more expensive thanks to new tariffs. But Target and Walmart are stepping up with deals and price freezes, and if you’re in one of 17 states with a tax holiday, you can dodge sales tax on essentials. Pro tip: check your state’s dates and snag those deals! Even Aldi and Dollar Tree have crazy cheap finds right now. Who knew saving on school supplies could be this strategic? #Education #BackToSchool #Deals

Cincinnati’s 513 Relief Bus brings back-to-school help
