Reverse Trick or Treating

This year, DISCOVER STAFFING visited several of our active clients for Halloween to pick up donations of food for the North Fulton Community Charities Food Pantry and MUST Ministries in Cobb County.

Laura enjoyed popping in on our clients while dressed as a witch to spread Halloween cheer and collect the donations. We were so excited about the volume of food we collected and thanks go especially to Jackson Healthcare, Global Care, Expeditor Systems, Phoenix Aviation and MACTEC. Thanks for your participation.

Happy Halloween from DISCOVER STAFFING

Sesame Street offers several tips to keep your trick or treaters safe:

Paint young children’s faces rather than letting them wear a mask so as not to obscure vision. If they do wear a mask secure it with bobby pins

Prevent tripping by not allowing kids to wear ill-fitting shoes, like mom’s high heels or dad’s boots

Have kids carry flashlights and add reflective stickers to their costumes

Go trick or treating with your kids under 15 years old

Older kids should stay in groups and only visit familiar neighborhoods

Teach kids not to eat candy before they get home and you and examine it. “If in doubt, throw it out”

Back to School Ideas for Working Parents

It is that time of year again. Many counties in Metro Atlanta have gone back to school and the rest will soon follow. Bloomberg's Businessweek offers this blog for Working Parents. I browsed their archives and got this great article on ideas for school lunches that working parents can make for their kids.
