There’s a great thread on the “You Know You Went to Rockville High School If” facebook page talking about what you remembered about your first day of school.  I have a terrible memory for my own elementary days.  I’m always amazed at people who can recount every teacher they ever had, everyone who was ever in their class, and everything in general about their school careers.  I have problems remembering people I graduated with . 

I do however remember my children’s first days of school.  Its amazing to realize they are now in 5th and 4th grade when I could swear they just started kindergarten.  So this week (and now with the hurricane next week!) I urge every parent to take a moment to think about your child and their first day.  It is, hopefully, something you will remember for the rest of your life.
