Wilmette resident Matthew Kurtzman, Executive Director of the Illinois Currency Exchange Charitable Foundation, recommends that you pencil in this date—Tuesday, June 19.

Reading, Writing and Arithmetic are welcomed class
challenges if schoolchildren come armed with school supplies on their first day of school.  Even pencils generate peer pressure.
