Today the local school system (Hamilton County, Tennessee in this case) returns to the classroom after the summer break. Other students in the area have been back for a week or more. For many kids this is really bad news but for parents it’s a welcome sight. Granted some of those parents are teachers so they have to get back to work. I hope all the students, teachers and staff have a great school year and do amazing things. Amazing things come from public schools I believe.

This is a great commercial for back-to-school from the Staples office supply stores. It’s set to the great holiday song “The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year” by Andy Williams.
