Area Back-to-School Sales Through Aug. 6

Summer remains in full swing. For those lucky enough, the days are spent lounging by the pool to beat the heat. Air conditioning helping keep the high humidity in check.

But, now that it’s August, it’s time to think about school. In less than a month, children will be gathering for the school bus, waiting for the first bell of the school year and preparing for a new classroom setting.

Children in Bloomfield may not be thinking of Back-to-School sales, but their parents might be.
