On my way to work today I saw the cutest real life moment. A group of young moms, their husbands and baby brothers/sisters were waiting at the corner bus stop. It’s the first day of school. Big brothers and sisters went bravely onto the bus, it happened in a flash, in a flurry of smiles and waving by everyone. Then the troupe turned away from the departing bus and started to walk back home, smiling, talking, pushing the stroller.

So, to everyone starting out a new school year and their families who are waiting at home for their return, I hope it’s a great year! There is nothing like a fresh start, a new beginning.

New Vernon and Madison students attend Madison High School. This year, Madison was ranked #15 by New Jersey Monthly magazine in their Top High School Report.
