Parents Swear by These $1.25 Back-to-School Hacks—All From Dollar Tree
Parents Swear by These $1.25 Back-to-School Hacks—All From Dollar Tree originally appeared on Dengarden. It always happens this way: it feels like summer vacation has only just begun when back-to-school items start popping up onto the shelves. But if you're already thinking about what you need for a simple school routine, it might be time to head to Dollar Tree to stock up on the best organization products while they're still in stock. The following Dollar Tree finds were highlighted by teachers, organizational experts, and childcare professionals thanks to their versatility and genuinely useful design that makes the whole back-to-school routine as easy as possible. The best part? Most of these organizational products are only around $1.25 to $3. Double-sided Pencil Cases Blogger and childcare expert Christina from thepurplealphabet found double-sided plastic pencil cases that she snatched up; each side locks and opens, but the best part is that the pencil case has little compartments that make it easy to organize smaller items like erasers, pencil inserts, and highlighters. Lap Desks Christina also came across a $5 lap desk that can be a great solution for spaces where setting up a full-sized desk or workspace isn't feasible. The lap desks can be used for doing homework or working from a laptop and has handy compartments on the side for things like pencils, markers, drinks, or other supplies required when working. Stackable Storage Containers Stackable storage containers are another must-have item on Christina's back-to-school list. She pointed out that the transparent finish makes it easy to see exactly which supplies are in which container and they're easily stackable, taking up less space in a desk drawer or backpack. Book Caddies Christina found a selection of colorful book caddies as well—which she suggests using to organize textbooks, notebooks, or any other school book that need to be out on a desk. The caddies are sturdy and can easily hold and organize a stack of books so they can be easily accessible from a desk without being stacked one on top of the other. Dry-Erase Board Blogger Amy at TX Mama Living found this convenient dry-erase board at Dollar Tree earlier this month. The compact board is the perfect size for a kid's desk and makes it easy to track things like homework assignments or chores. Clear Marker Container Blogger Emma Villaneda from thecraftedstudioco pointed out that the clear marker containers from Dollar Tree are a must for things like markers, crayons, colored pencils, and other art and writing supplies that come in a cardboard box. She mentioned that she particularly likes transferring supplies into these durable containers because the cardboard boxes never hold up for the entire school year. Snack Containers Villaneda also pointed out that the snack containers in the kitchen section are the perfect size for storing a standard 24-pack of crayons. The locking containers seal easily but aren't too difficult for little hands to open and close and make a great alternative to the cardboard box that crayons come in. Organizing Case The organizing case from Dollar Tree is another great organization hack that Villaneda swears by for back-to-school. She pointed out that the little compartments in the case work great for keeping smaller supplies like erasers, glue sticks, and sharpeners, separated and easy to grab, rather than falling to the bottom of a backpack. Metal Pencil Case Another hack that Villaneda swears by? The metal pencil case from Dollar Tree. The slender hardback container is the perfect size for storing feminine hygiene products discreetly in a backpack. Locking Cosmetic Container The locking cosmetic container set is small and compact—but Villaneda says it's the perfect size for a DIY first aid kit. She uses the containers to stock things that kids might need on the fly, like Band-Aids and wet wipes. Reusable Storage Bags Villaneda came across large reusable storage bags in the kitchen section which come with a strong zipper seal. She suggests using them for things like putting swimwear in a backpack or even using them as an alternative to a lunchbox. Snack Containers The double-sided snack containers can definitely work for the intended purpose—but Villaneda also pointed out that the compact water bottle-shaped design can be great for storing personal items or for packing a light first aid Swear by These $1.25 Back-to-School Hacks—All From Dollar Tree first appeared on Dengarden on Jul 31, 2025 This story was originally reported by Dengarden on Jul 31, 2025, where it first appeared.

Legionnaires' Disease Sickens 22 in New York. Here's What to Know.
At least 22 people have fallen ill, including one person who has died, from Legionnaires' disease in New York City over the last two weeks, according to the city's health department. City health officials believe that the people most likely became ill after breathing in bacteria sprayed from a cooling tower in central Harlem. The city health department said in a news release on Wednesday that it was testing the cooling towers in the area and continuing to investigate the outbreak. Legionnaires' is a severe form of pneumonia that can cause a cough, shortness of breath and fever. The risk is low for most people, said Dr. Celia Quinn, the deputy commissioner of the division of infectious diseases at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, but people who live or work around the affected area should see a health care provider immediately if they develop flulike symptoms. There will most likely be additional cases linked to this cluster, Dr. Quinn added. The city health department said that it was safe to continue drinking water, bathing, showering, cooking and using air-conditioning. Around 6,000 cases of Legionnaires' are reported each year in the United States, but scientists think the disease is underdiagnosed because it can be hard to distinguish from other types of pneumonia or respiratory issues. And cases have been rising over the last two decades. There is no clear reason for the increase, but some researchers have pointed to aging water systems, inadequate maintenance of systems, rising water temperatures and greater awareness of the disease. And cases tend to pop up during the summer months, as more buildings use cooling towers for air conditioning. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
