JM Family Enterprises and Its Subsidiaries Help Children Prepare to Go Back to School

The pandemic has placed an incredible amount of pressure on schools, teachers, students and parents alike. But there’s good news on the horizon as many look forward to children learning in-person with their teachers and peers.

Setting students up for success is more important than ever, and JM Family and its subsidiaries helped to bridge the gap for families by hosting back-to-school community efforts at business locations throughout the country:
