My friend wrote this and I asked her if I could post it to my blog. She said yes, so here it is!
I was just reading the Sept 1st issue of Woman's Day and they had some very cute bakery ideas for the start of school.? My kids are older now but we still have our traditions.? We always take pictures on the 'official' first day, my kids give me an apple, and I give them a "Welcome Back-to-Home School" goody bags filled with school supplies (we can never have enough pencils!).? We also either go out for breakfast or choose one everyone likes.? We also love to make smoothies or coffee and sit on the front porch watching the kids getting on the school bus!? I know a little mean but still fun!? Instead of calling it back to school clothes shopping we do some of our fall/winter shopping too.
I have even made bagged lunches' for the kids at lunchtime and we usually try to make something school themed for snacks or dessert that day.? We also review our school's mission statement, goals for the year both individually and as a whole, and now in high school we write up a 'contract' where exactly what is expected from them is laid out in black and white.? I also make one explaining how I will be helping and what I am willing to do to make the school year a success.
Just thought I would pass along some ideas.
God's continued blessings,
Tracy B
