HOW DOES GOING BACK TO SCHOOL AFFECT YOU?
|
Back to school means different things to different people. To kids it may be about learning to read and write. To a Mom or Dad of a kindergarten child it can be very emotional because of the new world their little child is entering. To a high school graduate leaving for college it takes on a completely different meaning, because they are about to enter into a world of new found freedoms and they will be making some important lifetime decisions. To another who has decided to return to school, as an adult, to complete their education, that for some reason they were not able to complete earlier in life, it will be quite challenging. Whatever it means to you, the time is nigh! We have parents and grandparents at Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware who are experiencing many of these feelings as well as one employee who is an evening student.
We at Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware like to know that we have been instrumental in helping to make many schools throughout North and South Carolina safer with many of the products we sell and install. We also have made many of the restrooms much nicer by replacing old dilapidated stalls and accessories. We have been instrumental in upgrading many schools to assist handicap students to move about the schools freely. The rising concern for children's safety has generated a very large growth in the electronic access control industry. We are very much involved in helping to protect schools and students with these products. Thanks to many school systems throughout the Carolinas we also will be busier, helping many of you upgrade your entrances and restrooms.
I appreciate you!

Customer Spotlight
|
Our featured customer of the month is Mark McLamb. Mark has been the Carpenter Foreman with Cumberland County Schools for 19 years. His girlfriend is Kathy Jackson. He has three children, Chris, Amy, and Lindsay. He also has three grandchildren and two more on the way. His favorite thing to do is spend time with his family and grandchildren. He also enjoys going to the beach, doing puzzles, keeping a nice yard, and eating whatever there is to eat.
The reason I purchase from Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware is because when you are with a school system, money is always an issue. Seven Oaks has always been in good competition with other companies, but their service, quick response time, timely completion of jobs, and always a job well done, has made them stand out. For the most part I have always dealt with Ed Shimpock. He has always been there for me and the school system with any problem that we have had. Seven Oaks uses only top quality doors and hardware which in a large school system, cuts way down on repairs. If there is a problem, corrections are quickly made. Seven Oaks is definitely a plus for us! - Mark McLamb, Cumberland County Schools

Suggestions & Tips

Homework Suggestions For Parents
1. Setting a regular quiet time and place for homework to be done is important.
2. Let the child know he or she is responsible for homework assignments. Do not do the homework for them, but show interest by having them explain what they are doing.
3. Extra reading. If a child has no homework, finishes early, or doesn't have anything else to do, have them invest that time in a little extra reading. They will benefit greatly.
