Back to School Already

On Wednesday, August 12, 2026, the news confirmed that the First Day of School is coming up soon. It feels like the summer just flew by, doesn't it? I saw the parents shopping for new notebooks and backpacks just the other day, and now the big moment is almost here. There is always such a mix of nerves and excitement when those school buses start making their rounds again. I am sure the teachers are busy organizing their rooms and getting everything ready for the new faces they will be seeing. It is quite the shift in the pace of our town once the kids go back, and I find myself looking for those yellow buses on every corner during the morning commute. Make sure you leave a little extra time for your morning coffee run once the school bells start ringing again. It is a big day for all the children and their families, so let’s all wish them a wonderful start to the year. You can check the details on the News Website for yourself.
