Tomorrow is the first day of school. Parents and students will be gathered outside the building early tomorrow morning. Some will be excited, some nervous, some may even be afraid. Once again, they will be coming to school in a pandemic yet to be under control.
I have many thoughts, opinions, and experiences on this subject, but now is not the time. Now I have an opportunity. More important than any opinion I might share.
What is it? The opportunity to greet families. The opportunity to welcome students to the music room, making music with approximately 175 kiddos by the end of the day.
Will it all go the way I have planned? Probably not. And that is ok. Because the next day, I get to do it all again. A little more tired than the day before, but that is ok, too.
As for now, I think it is time for bed…😴

Have a good first day back. Regardless of what is going on around us, we all have a choice as to what kind of a day each day will be.

I know i should miss those first few back-to-classroom days, but now (entering year 6 of retirement) I don’t. I do envy you, though.
Bon chance for a good year, sister!
