3...2...1...Happy School Year!

The buses are rolling down the highways. Our students are dressed for success (okay...maybe a few for fashion). The excitement of the new school year helps the teachers who tossed and turned all last night make it through today with a smile on his face and a bounce in her step.

I was watching a commercial the other day and it made me smile! The frosted mini-wheats were counting down….3….2…1…happy school year! Though we have notebooks instead of party hats and students instead of noise-makers (at least in some cases☺), we have the same excitement, anticipation, and desire to improve on the first day of school as we do on New Year’s Day. We get a new start and a clean slate. A new group of students who have each made resolutions to study, to improve and to graduate have entered our schools and classrooms.

Hopefully, each of you has enjoyed a renewing summer and is ready to embrace the many rewards and challenges before you this year. Happy School Year!
