School starts when?

I cannot believe that school is about to start up again. I have spent the last two days preparing my classroom for the beginning of school. I'll probably spend a few more days next week in the classroom as well. Teacher's institute is on the 15th and then the students start on Monday the 18th. Pray for cooler weather because the building where I teach is NOT air conditioned. Alexis will also start pre-school on the 18th. I won't be posting for a few days. Hubby & I are taking an overnight trip (without the kids) to celebrate our anniversary. This Saturday is the Noble Chowder and also my 15 year class reunion. Busy, busy days ahead!
