dad nudge you to make a list of things you need for school. “There isn’t enough time and there’s so much to be done!” they say. Fresh notebooks have to be bought and covered, new textbooks have to be put in order, uniforms need to be washed and pressed, and fingers crossed you haven’t outgrown your raincoat from last year! But as you go about gathering your school supplies, the summer bummers begin to fade. Thoughts of your school friends and your favourite subjects fill you with anticipation and excitement. What new shenanigans will you be up to this year What new things will you learn about the world And what new accolades will you receive The only way you’ll find out is if you embrace your new school year with open arms. So go out there and give it a loving squeeze. It’s waiting for you to make the most of it! ☺ Have a lovely new school year,
