Scholastic

I was a student who did indeed love school – I still love to learn.

That being said – my absolute favorite day was the day the teacher showed up with a stack of those Scholastic catalogs. I’d get to pick out a book. And it was FREE?!?!

The other day, I was waiting in the drive-thru line for my caffeine hit to be made when a Scholastic truck drove by:

Y’all – the way my ENTIRE body filled up with JOY at the memory! To know that this company/program is still around, quite honestly, gives me hope in a time I so desperately need it. (As does Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library – if you don’t know about it, and there are kids in your life, check it out!)

A couple days later, apparently the universe knew I needed a bit more joy – a friend shared a post that Scholastic launched a free streaming platform with shows like Clifford the Big Big Red Dog, The Magic School Bus, The Babysitter’s Club, Goosebumps, etc. (You can access it by downloading the Scholastic app on Roku or Amazon Fire TV.) If you’ve got kids in your life, share this, too. Or, you know, if you want to relive your own childhood, check it out for yourself.
