Save up to 80% on backpacks, notebooks and more in Target's annual back-to-school sale
While there's plenty of summer left to be enjoyed, we are entering the back-to-school deals territory. To prevent a mad dash the night before the first day of school, start prepping now. This week only, Target's Back to School-idays sale is live with deep discounts on school supplies, 20% off lunch items, 30% off backpacks and in select cases even more. I've picked 15 of my favorite deals so far and highlighted them below. Some of them carry my own seal of approval after using them through my collegiate years or even my elementary and middle school days. So, I can vouch that they're some all-time favorites and trusted essentials. Enday Double Deck Large Pencil Box Keep writing utensils, highlighters, sharpeners and the like organized in this budget-friendly pencil box. It has six compartments on each side for double the storage space and is suited for those headed to kindergarten or older. 4E's Novelty College Ruled Composition Notebook, 4-Pack Elementary school aged students are most likely going to need a couple of composition notebooks, so you should grab this $19 four-pack while you can. They'll have a few for a variety of subjects and one to leave in the classroom for journaling. Bright Creations Rainbow Classroom Turn In Trays (Set of 6) Teachers should get in on the back-to-school savings with this vibrant turn-in tray. Coordinate each color to a particular subject so students can hand in homework and other assignments with ease. It usually goes for over $40, but recently dipped to under $30 with this discount. Blue Panda Geometric Pocket Folders, 12-Pack Quit searching around the store for different colored folders and buy this under $20 set from Blue Panda. None of the solids or patterns repeat, so your kid will have no issue matching each one to their preferred class. Kingart Colored Pencil Set These pigmented colored pencils are great to have on hand for older students taking up studio art or younger ones who have an interest in drawing. The set comes with 36 blendable and layerable colors that make your drawings pop off the page. You're getting a higher-end set at a great value with this 24% discount. Kipling Seoul Extra Large Laptop Backpack I've been using a Kipling since I was in middle school. I actually used this exact backpack all throughout high school and even during my college years. It fits a ton and is comfortable to wear walking around campus or from class to class. This 40% discount in two dark colors is unbeatable. Lands' End Kids Flap Front Backpack It's no secret how much we love Lands' End at CNN Underscored and now you can snag this lightweight and breathable pack for your little one for under $50. It has plenty of pockets, a laptop sleeve and buckle closures on its exterior. Smurfs Allover Print Backpack The newest 'Smurfs' movie just came out this summer and if you or your kid are obsessed, consider snagging this almost 30% off backpack. It has the classic print which gives it a vintage feel and can fit a laptop, books and even a water bottle in its handy holder. All In Motion 23-Liter Air Mesh Backpack Think Dagne and Dover, but on a budget. Target's in-house All In Motion line has tons of water repellent pieces that are suitable for taking to the gym or to class. It comes in a neutral black, light blue and punchy pink and all are 30% off for a limited time. X Ray Waterproof Expandable Roll Top Backpack Parents going back to school or commuting to work will love this waterproof backpack from X Ray. It kind of reminds me of a much more expensive pack from Rains with its sleek exterior and black accents, but this model, which has a secure laptop pouch, is under $30. Simple Modern 22-Ounce Summit Water Bottle Stylish reusable water bottles that keep beverages cool all day long are a must for this time of year. Keep yourself hydrated this school year, whether you're a student or a teacher, with one of Simple Modern's sleek tumblers. All four colors and prints are 20% off, bringing it to just $20. Hydrapeak 14-Ounce Mini Insulated Water Bottle With Lid This tiny but mighty water bottle features a carrying handle that's easy for your little one to hold on to during the school day. The foldable straw is perfect for easy sipping and it's leakproof, so you don't have to worry about spills in their lunchbox. Vera Bradley Women's Outlet Cotton Lunch Bunch Fun fact: I had this lunchbox as a tween and used it instead of a paper bag when bringing my lunch to school. I still have one today and use it when I go to the beach since it fits my water bottle (or two), a sandwich and snacks. Built NY Neoprene Lunch Tote Bag Keep food cold for up to four hours sans an ice pack with the natural insulation from the neoprene on this tote. Since its fabric is also stretchy, you can fit more than you think in it since it wraps around a variety of shapes and sizes. It's washable, lightweight and starts at $20. Tirrinia Small Insulated Lunch Bag If you're on the hunt for a no-frills lunch box, this is it. The buckle strap can be attached to a backpack, tote and more. Plus, the lunch box itself is larger than a traditional one, which is more compactly built. Choose from three colors before it's gone — plus, if you need it ASAP, it can be delivered by August 2. Although we haven't entered into August just yet, it'll be here in just a few days. After that the summer seems to slip on by and all of a sudden its the fall. If you want to avoid buying supplies, gear and the like when it's crunch time, consider perusing Target's vast array of back-to-school deals before it's too late. You're going to have to buy most of these items anyway, so you might as well get them while they're on sale. Our deals team has over a decade of combined commerce journalism experience.

Fire destroys buildings at Miccosukee reservation, community vows to rebuild
A massive fire that tore through part of the Miccosukee Indian reservation Sunday night destroyed several buildings, damaged vehicles and left a deep mark on a tight-knit community. The fire erupted just before 8:40 p.m. at the Miccosukee Tiger Camp off Southwest 8th Street at 377th Avenue, prompting a swift multi-agency response that included Miccosukee police and security and more than 70 Miami-Dade firefighters. Sherry Tiger, whose grandfather Buffalo Tiger helped found the Tiger Camp, said three key community structures were lost: her aunt's home, a sewing and craft learning center, and a traditional Chickee building. "We still can't believe what we saw. A couple of buildings are down. This was a family camp with tradition and it has been here 40 to 50 years. It's my family camp," Tiger said. "We lost a sewing center for the community," she added. "A seamstress was in there where they teach people to do patch work and make clothing. We also lost a main Chickee building for the community where people go to eat and stay." Tiger said her aunt's family lost everything in the fire. "It is really tragic and very sad. I feel so bad for my aunt and her family. They lost everything. I have lived here my whole life," she said. Despite the loss, she emphasized the community's resilience: "That is what we do. We try to help each other." J.M. Richard, Assistant Fire Chief of Operations for Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, said five buildings and multiple vehicles were damaged or destroyed. The blaze was elevated to a third alarm to bring in additional resources. "The fire was complicated by strong winds and down power lines throughout the street and the community hampering firefighting efforts," Richard said. He credited Miccosukee police and security for helping evacuate the area swiftly. "They assisted in the evacuation preventing injuries and I have to take my hat off to them," he said. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue released dramatic images and video from the scene, including aerial footage showing flames engulfing the area. The cause of the fire remains under investigation, but officials said no injuries were reported and no foul play is suspected. Tiger said she believes the fire started by accident.
