Tips For Getting Your Student Prepared for the Winter!
It’s been a very confusing fall
when it comes to the weather and it’s
starting to get very cold outside. Winter is coming upon us! For some, this
means snowball fights and snowmen, hot chocolate and staying inside with
friends to watch movies, but for others this means long commutes, tons of
shoveling, and being cold all the time. New York snowstorms create a winter
wonderland on campus. But although snowstorms bring joy to many people, there
are a lot of supplies that students can use that will really help them get
through the winter months. You can help your student become prepared by making
sure they have exactly what they need for this winter.
