I have said from day one that schools should have the blizzard bags.... I think Moultonboro did a fantastic thing for starting that. I wish all schools up here would also. When I was young we grew up on those and they worked out great. It can be as simple as a drawing for the younger kids or something simple on the computer for the older ones.
As far as starting after Labor Day heck yes...... It's to hot in the classrooms with no AC and they also have them go three days and then off Friday and Monday. So just go after Labor. It's strange how every public school up here also starts either this week or after Labor Day. Keep all them at same dates. For instance Laconia got out June 15th and goes back after Labor Day! Meredith got out June 22nd and went back Tuesday.
It does hurt our economy up here due to the kids have to go back so they lose out on a paycheck and the business lose out on their employees.
