This is that point in the year when the beginning of school has begun to fade into itself. For me, I feel it's often a dangerous time when the "job" can take over the excitement and newness of the new year, new students, new staff, and new beginnings.
This evening I was confronted with everything that was right with schools. Tonight was our first annual Trunk or Treat. It was held on our playground behind our school and it was perfect. Parents coming together to allow kids be kids. The school was allowed to do what it does best which is bring parents, children, education, and most of all memories together for what I felt was a perfect evening filled with hayrides, costumes, cookies, candy, and a love for what is right about schools in America.
While some worry about whether parties start with Halloween, Harvest, or Fall.... We had fun.
