First day of School

So odd to be missing the first day of school...  

I have spent the last 10 years being there and getting to know those cuties.  

But not this year ;(

This year I will teach 3 after school art classes at two schools and start teaching adults too.

A mixture of yippee and sadness at the same time -

Aren't most moving on times that way? 

For now here is the bulletin board that will greet the kids today.

I had help from my summer camp kids who loved to color and made the flowers.
