Tell us your memories of the first day of school
What is it about the first day of school now, or in the past, that will stick with you forever? Here's what staffer Bill Marvel had to say:
"It's the fresh supplies you started with on that first day. A box of Crayola's with pointy tips. A fresh Big Chief tablet. Yellow No. 2 pencils, not sharpened yet. A new ruler without any nicks. A three-ring binder with clean paper. Afterwards, the Crayolas got blunted and broken. The tablet ran out of paper. The pencils wore down to stubs, and the ruler got nicked and the three-ring binder no longer closed with a satisfying snap. But on the first day, all was alive with possibility."
