So on the 205th day of 2017, I pulled up in front of Oaklyn Public School and my odometer read 81818. A really good palindromic omen on Anna's first day of 8th grade and Alexa's first day of 10th (8+10 = 18 - even the operational equation is a palindrome). And there were many smiles, pictures, and excitement on the first day of school on 9/7/17. It has been nice to see all of the 1st day of school pictures in the past two weeks, and today it was Oaklyn/Collingswood's turn. The first day of anything always provides me with inspiration. I like the turning of the page from one month to the next, from one quarter to the next, from one semester to the next, etc. It's almost as if anything is possible and the slate is clean. I hope my kids and their classmates are inspired to have an amazing year. I know I am inspired to help them do so in any which way I can.
