Happy First Day of School North Branford!!

Whether you're wishing for more time off or waving down that big yellow bus after a long summer at home with the kids, the countdown to back-to-school is finally over. The first day of the 2012-13 North Branford school year is finally here!

The and kids are heading to the bus stop. Don't forget your cameras to capture the big moments. Then once the kids are on the bus and you're wondering what to do without the chaos, take a minute to with the Patch community in our photo contest. It's quick, easy and you can win a prize! 

And here's a crazy little fact: as evidenced by the accompanying photo, if your little one is headed to kindergarten today, like my little girl is (where did the time go?!?!), they are a member of the Class of 2025!

2025? It sounds so crazy and futuristic and completely unbelievable that these little kindergarteners will be 18 years old getting ready to head to college. 

No matter what grade students are entering this year, I wish them (and their parents) a wonderful, happy year full of lots of learning. Happy 2012-13!
