Today was the first day back to school for my sophomore. Oddly, this year it really hit me that the baby is growing up – almost too quickly! One would think the freshman year would do it, but because my oldest daughter started college last year (I had two freshmen), her moving out had more of an emotional impact than the baby’s first year of high school.
The second year of high school, though. She has a new principal this year, although it’s actually the one she had in middle school. He’s a strict overseer and that will be good given the way her school has been out-of-control these last few years. There is one staircase with a bad nickname because at the bottom is the hiding place where high school “couples” go. He’s already put a stop to that.
The school is also much cleaner – he brought over his head custodian who brought in his people. All trusted to work hard and do what has to be done. They’ve already painted the school hallways. Now they’re working on the rodent problem.
When is your first day of school? How much did you spend on new clothes? School supplies? For my two girls, I spent about $400 on clothes and $100 on school supplies.
