Back To SchoolAll Ready?
August has arrived and with July in the rear view mirror the students and their families in the county are gearing up for the school year. Part of the rhythm of Jerrol’s has always been the return of students to the classroom.
My granddaughter Rowan is headed to First Grade this year. You can see her excitement as she tried on her first school backpack last year in preparation for Kindergarten! We are fortunate to see hundreds of these smiles on young people when they stop by to get fitted for the coming year. There is something special about the excitement for both the kids and their parents as they prepare for another year of learning and growing.
Lets be honest though, Back to School shopping can be a hectic time with the fair and rodeo activities just days before school starts. We are here to help!
#3 - Diversity
Everyone has something to teach us and to contribute to our business and personal lives.
· People who are different from us are way more interesting than people who are like us.
· We learn new and interesting things from other backgrounds, cultures, life experiences.
· Learning about other people expands our understanding of the world.
· It is the right thing to do.
Jessica and Crystal have prepared a resource center with teacher lists organized by the schools so you can quickly determine what you need for the scholars in your family. Jerrol’s is known for having all the items on the lists from TI-83 graphing calculators to graphing pads.
If you want to get a jump on your BTS shopping, send Jessica an email via Jessica@Jerrols.com with your students teachers information and she will send you their list so you can check through it before you arrive. We want to do everything possible to make sure the BTS season is something to smile about and that your students have what they need for a successful and happy school year.
Our goal is for everyone to be as excited as Rowan is to be headed back to school this year.

Community Close-Up Thorp Fruit Stand
By Brook BuckinghamWhat is synonymous with summer? Fresh fruit! And what better place to get your summertime favorites than the Thorp Fruit and Antique Mall.
In this month’s Community Close-Up, we’re exploring this Kittitas County mainstay, that has been a fixture of our community for more than 60 years.
What we enjoy today, started out in 1944 as a small roadside fruit stand. Of course, there are still fresh fruits and vegetables, but now there are also unique gifts, locally produced specialty food items, and two floors of antiques.
I’m told that cherries are in season right now and I can confidently say that they are absolutely delicious!
August is the best month for fresh fruit at the stand. You’ll find fresh and in season melons, corn, cherries, apricots, apples, squash, plums, pears, peaches, and nectarines.
And here’s some fun trivia: what northwest restaurant gave a peek of the fruit stand during a recent commercial?
You’ll find the answers at the end of this article!
This fourth generation business is part of the heart and soul of our valley, and we are proud to help them with their janitorial and office supply needs.
Trivia answer: Taco Time NW
