The summer is my favorite time of year. It's warm, sunny and the days seem to last forever. For most of us the 3 months without school are filled with exciting trips, relaxing and memory making. Some are more excited than others by the time late August and early September come creeping around. The weather still feels like the summer months but we pack up and head off to school. September 4th seemed like an early morning after getting comfortable with the summer’s relaxed schedule and sleeping in. The first few days and even weeks of school were a little crazy and a tad bit chaotic. Many students were seen running around saying “hi” to old friends, meeting new teachers, finding lockers and remembering which classes they had and when. Even for students who have been attending CCS their entire school career, these are all typical back to school occurrences.
By this time, the summer has started to fade and autumn is upon us. The air is beginning to lose its summer heat and cool nights have taken the place of warm ones. The colors are slowly but surely changing from lush greens to crispy reds. Students have traded in their sandals for fall boots and their t-shirts for warm hoodies. The routine has been set and early mornings don't seem quite so early anymore. Everyone has located their lockers and knows exactly who sits next to them in class. New teachers aren't exactly 'new' anymore but are instead becoming familiar faces. The process of note taking and completing homework assignments are quickly being remembered. New friendships have been formed and old ones carry on. I think it's safe to say, that most everyone has set summer aside and settled into the autumn routine. It's shaping up to be a great school year!
