School ..Didn’t we just end ? Wasn’t the “last day of school” just “the other week”?
Sure feels like it. Spending the last 4 weeks that we have together is full of appointments,practice and squeezing in family time and bbq’s before the madness starts, but as a PTA board member thinking about the new school year never stopped.
As you were in the pool or catching up on your summer reading we were scheduling school supply orders,scheduling upcoming “family eat out nights “ and figuring out what “fundraising idea” would be the best.
I wish I could stop thinking about “how many donuts do I need to order for 1st day of s hook breakfast, not only for grades 1st -5th but two days later a second one for the new parents coming in with adorable Kindergarteners.
While everyone’s picking out school clothes ,we’re picking out the new design for “spirit wear “.
Although each year we say “I’m going to step back “ we always end up “stepping up even more”.
Through all the stress, trails and tribulations... I wouldn’t change it for the world. I appreciate those who step up and contribute their time, I appreciate the teachers and staff even more because I can see the passion and the drive that makes them so amazing. I appreciate the little things in life even more, just because my children are well off doesn’t mean that their peers are in the same position it really makes you take a step back and say “ This is why I’m back”.
So thank you to all those hard working parents , teachers and staff for your unconditional support that draws me back each year. At the end of the day ..it’s all for a good cause.
Good luck to you and your upcoming school year.
