Back to School - School Year 2016-2017

Being a teacher for 26 years, I always loved to see the kids come back to school--their excitement, their smiles, and their new school clothes.  Sadly, it doesn't usually last more than about a week--hah!  Well, hopefully the clothes do, but sometimes the enthusiasm wanes a bit when they see there is a lot of work to be done for the year.  But, I always ask the moms to send me a pic of our grand kids going back to school.
