Attention… This is the 2007 Back To School Giveaway and was already awarded last summer. Please register for this years Giveaway at our current post on Love Shak Baby by clicking here. If you have already entered on this post by mistake, we will incorporate all 2008 entrants from this post into the final drawing at the end of the promotion. Please do not register a second time on the current post. Sorry for any inconvenience.
I don’t know about your kids but my two girls have already started back to school. Out here in the Midwest, we are on a year round school system so they only have 6 weeks off for summer. This is only for the Elementary schools in our district though, my son in Middle school and my other son in High School start back in the middle of August.
To be quite honest, it’s a pain in the neck having four kids at four different schools all on crazy schedules but be that as it may…….I still love back to school time and so do they.
Kids get so excited to shop for their school supplies, possibly a new backpack and of course the ever popular, back to
school clothes. The bloggers here at Loveshakbaby know how crazy it is for families to keep up with the demands of growing children so we have partnered with Gymboree to bring you a fabulous way to get your kids ready in time for back to school.
Gymboree is offering two of our readers each a $250 Gift Card to be used at the Gymboree store or Gymboree online. Our contest will run from July 27th through August 17th and just like our other giveaways we are going to randomly choose two winners from the comment section of this post!
From now until midnight, August 17th, here’s what you will need to do in order to be entered to win:
*Leave a comment on this post telling us what your child’s favorite thing is about going back to school. There will be other posts that refer to the Back To School Giveaway With Gymboree but only comments left on this post will count as an entry. Please enter only once.
*Link back to this post using the "Back To School Giveaway With Gymboree" banner in a post on your blog or website.
*If you do not have a blog, leave your e-mail address and tell your friends. Your e-mail address will automatically register you for the Gymboree Newsletter.
*All comments must be entered by midnight, August 17th.
The two winners names will be posted on the morning of August 18th. They will be notified by e-mail and in a "winner’s post".
(This is a "sticky" post and will remain at the top of the page for the duration of our Freedom Giveaway but new posts will be written daily and published underneath this post).

seeing their friends again
Posted by: Stephanie Vollowitz | July 27th, 2007 3:54 pm |
My three year old just started preschool last spring, so this will be her first "back to school" fall. So far, my favorite part is her telling everyone she's going to kindergarten soon. Umm, don't jump the gun, right?! Her brother was just born last week and is finally home after a week in the hospital. I think he needs the Gymboree GC more than she does, since good boy clothes are hard to find.

My 4 year old is starting VPK and is excited to see all her friends and teachers that are in the Daycare part of the center. She's talked about going to school since she was 2. She's already making playdates plans and planning parties.

I homeschool all (soon-to-be) six of my kiddos, but each year we have fun "back to school" activities that my kids just love!
I linked to the contest – http://ooohpickmepickme.blogspot.com/2007/08/250-gift-card-to-gymboree.html
(Quick question – Does the contest end on August 10th OR August 17th????)

Seeing their friends will be number 1 on their list. After this they will moan and groan about getting up early every day!

He asks everyday to wear it! He is just so excited to start "big kids" school! I know I will get a bit-teary eyed but I am excited as well!

After reading your post I was thinking to find the best school for my child. Incidentally, my son was only 4 years old and I want to find a school for him. By the way, can you recommend me a school that excels in America?
