I never want the summer to end and this year is no exception. But whether we’re ready for it or not, the back-to-school season is here and in this time of uncertainty, only one thing is certain – school is going to look a little different this year and I want to be prepared.

No matter how the school year unfolds, Kleenex® Ultra Soft™, America’s #1 Ultra Tissue, helps me feel more confident that our teachers and students are prepared when it comes to fighting off germs and practicing good hygiene. I always like to donate several boxes throughout the year, knowing how important it is to keep those little hands as clean as possible. Designed with three layers, Kleenex® Ultra Soft™ is a perfect balance of softness and strength for everyday clean that I can feel good about.

So while this may be our new reality for a while, it’s important to do what we can, when we can. For me and my family, that means making smart decisions for the well-being of ourselves and those around us. I was able to pick up my Kleenex, along with all my other back-to-school needs, with minimal contact thanks to Walmart’s online pick-up. We are all trying to do our part and every little step helps.

After we’re done with a box of Kleenex, Iris has been known to turn it into a “gratitude box”. Whenever she feels thankful for something, she writes it down on a little piece of paper and slips it into the box. Then, whenever she might be feeling down, she empties the box and is reminded of all the things she is grateful for. She even started making them for family and friends, knowing that some of them may be feeling a little lonely these days.
