First Day of School

Every First Day of School carries the same mix of energy: kids who’ve been counting down since July standing next to kids who’d have been happy with one more week of summer. Parents linger a beat longer than necessary at drop-off, teachers wait at their doors with the particular patience the first morning requires, and by the time the bell rings, a new school year is quietly underway. It’s a short morning, but a loud one — in all the right ways.
