Since my school age kids are high school granddaughters, what I'm looking forward to, immensely, is their volleyball, basketball, track events and orchesta presentations. Their sports give me something to look forward to and I NEVER miss an event. My only other participation in any school events are ccollecting labels and boxtops for the local grade school and hoping that, in some small way, I'm helping that school.
Back to School is such an exciting time at our house. To get my kids started back into their routine, in the middle of the August, I start having them go to bed at their School Time Bed Times, we set their alarms at night, lay out their clothes for the next day, and then have them wake up to their alarm in the morning, get dressed and ready for the day. It gets them into the routine ahead of time so they are revved and ready to go on the first day of school
