September 2009 BACK TO SCHOOL

Dear friends, neighbors and colleagues,
I feel like shouting “Wait Up! I’m not done yet!” when realizing our Summer has come to an end. Its been another successful season of community-unity filled with charming events and special camaraderie found close to home.
Its been nice spending time strolling Broadway, picnicking in Congress Park and enjoying a renewed optimism compared to the Summer season of last year. I truly enjoyed the getting to “preview” the smaller businesses from town, that had the chance to showcase their specialties at the track this year. It was a smart emphasis and show of support towards the shops and restaurants around town during dark days and rainy moments…
Like most families, our home is busy with back to school preparations and I’m stunned that 2 months of summertime living seemly grows our boys faster than the other 10 months of the year. As the start of school nears, I’m craving a sensible routine yet find myself a little blue and knowing that the hugging and kissing from our youngest will slowly morph into the cool aloofness of the now sophomore in our home. (Sigh.)
What is it about the seasons that grow our children, right before our eyes and then “blink” they change into independent little people. I guess its what we want… isn’t it?…. someday, maybe….yes, yes….I think so….sort of.
It is exciting to watch them learn, experience all that changes around them in our school district and know there is more of the unknown for them to experience and explore. I think that makes us all new students at the start of every school year and I’m thinking there should be a special SPAC graduation ceremony for parents annually, don’t you?
Back to sniffing fresh crayons and pink erasers and pencil sharpening. Have a happy, safe start to the new school year and best wishes to all our new staff and administrators who have committed to the excellence of our children.
Warmest Regards,
