I took this picture at the end of the day when the bags were much lighter. In the morning they were filled with school supplies, lunch boxes, gym clothes, paint smocks and other goodies. It was like a sea of turtles in the school yard, little bodies with heavy shells (bags). I guess it's a good thing it wasn't windy. It was HOT though, 40 degrees Celsius with the humidity. Let's just say it didn't take much for us to work up a sweat.
Well, the school is clean, shiny and ready to go for the first day of school. Teachers and staff have been busy over the last week preparing for tomorrow. Our janitor was busy all summer and thanks to him everything looks shiny and new. Today teachers were putting the last touches on their classes and the photocopy machine and laminator were humming all day. Here's hoping everyone has a good night's rest before the big day. Here goes another year!
