Seven Quintessential Back-to-School Photos

Every year, parents across the country snap pictures of their kids on the first day of school. Let’s be honest, they don’t always turn out like perfect catalog images, and sometimes that’s the best part.

This year, your photos can help us support teachers. Simply snap and share a first-day pic from July 24 – August 28* using #KohlsClassroomDonation or redeem your Kohl’s Cash from August 1-14 and Kohl’s will make a donation (a minimum of $250,000 and up to $1 million total).

At AdoptAClassroom.org, we thought we’d get in on the fun by sharing some of our team’s silliest, most adorable, back-to-school photos.
