This back-to-school season, scholars will go straight to the head of the class with these great items:

-- For the grade-schooler, stock up on the latest from Mead Five Star. Pick up essentials - notebooks, portfolio folders, binders and more, in classic colors and fun patterns like polka dots.

-- Send children back-to-school in style! Backpacks and lunch kits come in every style and color imaginable, and feature your child's favorite friends, including Hannah Montana, Spiderman, Dora and Diego,

Disney Princesses and Cars. And when it comes to durability, don't worry Mom and Dad; they'll make the grade all year long!

-- Be sure to check out Harvard Square and Office Experts, Rite Aid's exclusive line of school supplies. Items include glue, filler paper, staplers, calculators, tape, push pins and much more.

-- For the aspiring artist, be sure to check out the collection of Crayola products. Whatever their tool of choice, markers, crayons or colored pencils, Rite Aid has a wide assortment to help them create their masterpieces.

-- Everyone knows that organization is the key to a successful school year. Make sure you pick up a planner to keep track of assignments and activities. Don't forget about lockers - stock up on shelving, grab a mirror and dry-erase board. Add some style to their storage spot with magnetic locker wallpaper. New this year, it's available in popular patterns like camouflage and flowers.

-- Rite Aid has the college-bound covered too. The portable, multi-position laptop desk lets students work where they want. And there's nothing worse than running out of ink the night before a term paper is due, so don't forget the ink cartridges for their printer. Rite Aid has a variety of cartridges and other computer accessories available. And to make their dorm room feel a little more like home, pick up a fleece throw or two, available in a variety of colors.
