		<description><![CDATA[While heading back to school after a great summer is not a real “holiday,” it is a great reason to celebrate. Back
to school means that kids are growing up, heading off for new adventures and learning more. Having a back to
school party is a great idea, especially for kids that are going to school for the very first time or moving to a new
school. Throw a Back to School party for your kids and show them how fun school can be.

		<description><![CDATA[Each year, we fear we may not be able to come up with a dozen new icebreaker activities to help teachers get to know their students -- and to help students get to know one another -- and each year the e-mails keep coming in. This year, we introduce more than 25 new teacher-tested getting-to-know-you activities in two new volumes.
