My favourite memory was getting all new books and materials every September.
My favorite school moment was with a favorite teacher, some teachers are so encouraging and you remember them the rest of your life because of the kind words of wisdom they teach to their students!
My favourite memory of school is the first day because everything is new and somewhat challenging
My favourite memory was my music class. It was what inspired me to be who I am.
My favroutie memory was seeing everyone in their new outfits and haircuts on the first day of school.
winning the track & field championship !
seeing my friends after a long summer!
the thrill of back to school shopping. “doesn’t it want to make you buy a boquet of freshly sharpened pencils?”
My best memories are sitting at the kitchen table with my mom and doing my school projects. Didnt seem so important at the time, but since she has passed away I treasure those times and look forward to helping my kids with their school work!
My favorite school memory is from the 3rd Grade when my brother started JK at my school. Part of the reading program at my school allowed the Grade 3 students to visit the JK class and read them stories. Our weekly visits helped my class to feel like we were contributing to the learning of younger students and the JK students loved having the “big kids” read to them. I was very close to my little brother, so an added benefit for me was getting to visit him and his friends in their classroom!
My favorite school memory are of the friendships that I made playing on school teams. Many of these folks are still some of my closest friends today.
