The line of hungry students and parents winded its way around the school gymnasium. It was the annual Back-to-School party at the local grade school. Parents catching up with each other while the children laughed and sang and just seemed to make the best of waiting in line. They were having fun - and about to enjoy a stack of pancakes served up by none other than the school principal!
All across this great country schools are preparing for the annual arrival of this years student body.
In some towns the children have already started their school year.
Parents rushing around in the morning getting little ones ready for another adventure-filled day at school. Trying to convince the children to eat something healthy. And still get dressed in time to rush off to another new day!
"I like my new teacher" my eldest son shared with me after giving her a hug. It seems to me that just perhaps what teachers are miss in their inadequate paychecks just might be made up for every time a student wants to give them a hug!
Here's hoping every child goes back to school this year with a big smile and healthy desire to learn! And a teacher who enjoys getting a hug or two - or ten every day. A teacher who cares and loves her students! And loving parents who feed their children a healthy breakfast before sending them off to school. Parents that stress the value and importance of a good education.
