As the end of summer season approaches, parents are counting down the days until they can send their kids back to school! Maryland's Tax-Free Week signifies the start of the back to school season, and we've got all the deals you need to know about. Send your kids back to school on their A+ game with these special deals and sales.

To get the most bang for your buck during this year's back school season, head to the ever so faithful retail giant, Walmart, to get the ball rolling on all of your children's school supply needs. Baltimore's WMAR-2 News priced a basket of items for a third-grade classroom, which included pencil sharpeners, Crayola colored pencils, Elmer's school glue, Expo markers, and Ticonderoga pencils. The entire basket rang up at $32.77. What a deal! Those caring for children in our A&G communities should also also keep in mind that from August 12th-18th clothing and footwear under $100 will be exempt from Maryland's 6 percent sales tax.

Send the kids back to school in the latest fashion without breaking the bank. Shop online or in-store for Old Navy's fantastic sale on children's clothes. All kids clothes are on sale with some styles even starting at $4. Try not to shop and drop all in one place! You wouldn't want to miss the great buy one-get one jean sale at Crazy 8 or the chic and stylish uniform selection at H&M. Imagine how cute your little ones would look in these outfits on picture day?

Have your kids make a statement with their backpacks this year! Whether they're a Fortnite pro or an aspiring unicorn, visit Amazon's Best Sellers in Kids' Backpacks page for a great selection of book bags that'll last the entire school year.

Good luck to our A&G parents and students!
