And the winner of the free school supplies were ....
Celestia Urbanovsky of Charlotte: "My husband, Dustin, and I have just one child, a 2-year-old boy named Ronin. We have both lived in Charlotte since our teen years, and look forward to raising our family in the Queen City!"
Kristen Gaines: "I am a Charlotte mom of a 2-year-old son, Kylan. Currently, I work in the accounting field as well as being in the beginning stages of living out my aspiration of starting my own cupcake business. I enjoy spending time with my son, family, and friends, illustrating my creativity, traveling, baking, volunteering, and so much more."
Ann Gaston of Tega Cay: "I have an almost 14-year-old going into high school who LOVES stationary products. Her birthday is in 2 weeks which makes the timing perfect. She'll get 1st dibs and I'll take a choice and offer my DH something for his home office - if he's been good this week."
Megan Shavers of Charlotte: My husband, our 14-year-old daughter and I are not natives of Charlotte. My daughter and I are from Illinois and my husband is from Alabama. We have both been in Charlotte for a few years. We love to go shopping, see movies, and go to cultural activities around town. We also love to vacation and have plans to go to Florida in November 2009, Vegas in February 2010, as well as Jamaica and the Cayman Islands in August 2010.
Carolina Pad's eco-friendly collection Sasquatch uses less virgin wood products, and is mostly made from recycled paper. So, not only will your kids look cool this school year, they'll be doing something good for the earth.
See how our winners answered this question in our forums: Thinking back to your school days, what was the dorkiest lunchbox you owned? Brady Bunch? Incredible Hulk?
