Making the Grade
It’s time for back to school shopping, and we’re not talking about your kids. Everyone can use an updated look from time to time and teachers are no exception. Sometimes it’s a change in color to accentuate your best features, other times it’s a more flattering cut for your figure. We took three AISD folks and gave their look a boost for the new school year. We think it makes the grade.
