It's back-to-school time for many students across the state of Minnesota. Some of them maybe excited as they wait for the yellow bus, and others might already be "feeling a little sick." But the school doors are opening either way.

Let's give those going back to school a soundtrack for their day. What songs about school should we play for the 9:30 Coffee Break?

A few days left to enter to win the Coffee Break on the Road. If you want Jill and Steve to bring the music of The Ericksons, treats from Salty Tart and Peace Coffee to your office you'll have to act quickly. Send an email to: CoffeeBreak@TheCurrent.org
