We Want You to Help Us Start School in Style

The first day of school is less than three weeks away, and that means the start of homework, tests, early mornings and everything that comes with the beginning of another year.

But it definitely doesn't have to be something to dread because it also means time with friends, interesting subjects and lots of learning.

So Bridgewater Patch wants to put together some advice for all students preparing for the new year—we're asking parents and students to send their best thoughts for surviving school and making the best of the end of another summer.

Know the best way to avoid procrastination with school work? Let us know!

Have preferences for the best places to buy new clothes and back-to-school supplies? Send it our way!

Have a recommendation for the coolest club in school? Tell us!

Send all your suggestions, recommendations and ideas to audreyl@patch.com by Aug. 31, and we'll compile it into a list before the start of school.

Let's get those juices flowing, Bridgewater!
