Back-to-School: Tips for a Successful First Day and Beyond

Kids and their caregivers are counting the days until school starts again—some with more joy than others. Returning to school can prove challenging for kids as they face meeting new teachers and friends, and, if they’re changing schools, there’s the added stress of learning a new routine and navigating unfamiliar hallways. Try these tips to help make the return to school go smoothly.

Are your Child's Eyes 'School Ready'?

Vision accounts for up to 80% of a child’s learning. Even the tiniest vision problems can impact academic performance and prevent children from reaching their full potential. It’s up to you to make sure your child’s eyes are school ready. ?

Stay Protected with the Power of Vaccines

August is National Immunization Awareness Month and a good time to reflect on and appreciate the crucial role vaccines play in preventing disease, reducing the severity of illness and preventing hospitalization for people of all ages.

Easing the Challenges of Psoriasis

For approximately 7.5 million Americans, living with psoriasis is a daily challenge that can significantly impact their quality of life. Understanding what it is, recognizing the triggers, and knowing how to manage it are key to living a fulfilling life with the condition.

Former Aerus Employee Keeps Business Going

BENNINGTON, Vt. — A former Aerus Electrolux employee has started his own business to keep the filtration company’s products and services in the area.

When Aerus Electrolux — known for selling and servicing vacuums and air purifiers—abruptly closed at the end of December, Tyler Waldron decided to help local customers continue getting serviced by opening Tyler’s Healthy Home.

"They offered me something called the distributor program, which means I still can carry the product, the supplies, [and] still honor the free yearly service checks for any Aerus Electrolux products."

His new business is operated out of his home office, however, he still offers various Electrolux products and services including free air quality tests and service checks.

Currently he is the only employee, but has plans to open a storefront and expand his team as the business grows.

Waldron had started working at Aerus Electrolux's Pittsfield location in January 2025 and was learning to become the next owner.

"It's kind of crazy to think about that in a year, you can go from an employee to a business owner but that was the goal from the beginning," he said.
