And Then They Leave for College…

Woodstock Early Bird Anna Sand Flew The Coop This Morning…
She’ll be attending Skidmore College

On our early morning rounds today, we detected the Sand family loading up the car for Anna’s trip to college.

She is a 2012 graduate of Woodstock Union High School. While everyone looked pretty calm and cheerful we did hear Dad helpfully (or nervously?) suggest, “Do you need a checklist…?”

We also heard about Graham’s first day at Kindergarten yesterday. He wasn’t saying much while in line at Mac’s except he did bring a packed lunch rather than buying lunch in the cafeteria and he hadn’t decided what was best about it.

His Mom, Peggy, did note (we think a bit wistfully?) that he didn’t look back once he got on the school bus!

We also chatted briefly with another Mom, Christine, who has quite a few boys back in school. “How did the first day go,” we asked?

Christine replied quite simply and cheerfully, “They are BACK at school — That’s the point of the first day of school!”

We wish everyone well as they send off their kids off to kindergarten or to college or the various points in between!
