I can remember being very nervous to go to 4th grade since we'd just moved to a new town. We went to a 'meet the teacher' thing the week before school started and I met a couple of girls who I was close to until high school. And my teacher was amazing, so amazing in fact that I ended up housesitting for her years later and know that I can turn to her no matter what now.
I always liked the opportunity to start anew.
i loved seeing who would be in my class
I remember when my oldest son started Kindergarten. I thought I was a mess but it turns out my husband was worse. He had me get into the car and we drove over to the school to make sure our son got off the bus okay.
My favorite back to school memory was when I started junior high! I remember my exact outfit - orange peasant top and flowy white skirt - and my new haircut! I was so psyched to start at a new school with all new classmates and teachers.

My favorite back-to-school memory was when I changed schools halfway through my 4th grade year, and I was so shy and afraid being the 'new kid'. Well, 2 girls welcomed me and stayed close to me in the beginning, and to this day I am still friends with these 2 girls who are now great lady friends!! Thank you for the contest!

I just love how my girls get excited to pick out their outfits for the first day!
I remember each of the 1st days back to college. I looooooved college unlike any other part of my education career. I was sooo excited to be away from home and finally see my friends again!
My favorite back to school memory is of walking along a neighbor's sidewalk and picking fresh peas off her garden fence--they were delicious, and she knew we were doing it and didn't care. Made the walk to school extra nice on some pretty hot fall days!

i always loved going back to school to see some friends. i don't have any particular memory though because i don't remember much from my childhood.
My favorite back to school memory is meeting my Kindergarden teacher right before school started. She gave me a Cookie Monster cut out that said my name to wear around my neck & took my picture:)

My favorite back-to-school memory is when the fist day of school finally ended. I HATED school, which is odd, since I received mostly straight A's until I graduated. I found kids, as a whole, to be generally unkind. There were a few exceptions of course.

I've always remembered my first BTS day with my new pink backpack and new outfits and of course my cartoon lunchbox that Dad bought me from Japan.
My favorite memory of back to school is watching my daughter get on the school bus for the first time. She was sooo happy and excited to be a "big girl" going on the bus alone.

Not any year in particular, but I was always so glad to get to see my friends that I had not seen over the summer. The feeling of "hope" in the air was always something that made me look forward to school starting. Every year, I vowed that THIS was going to be my best year yet!
Although I hated the 1st day of school photos, in later years it was great to have them to see how much we changed each year!
Thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite memory from back to school was when my son started school at my old elementary school. I had a flash from the past sitting in the little chairs as he is sitting there scared to death.

I never liked going back to school because I was such a shy child. I did like riding the bus and even today I like driving by them.
My favorite back to school memory was seeing friends again and discussing our summers :) *Thanks* for the giveaway!

I never liked going back to school, but it was fun to get new school supplies!
my favorite was new school supplies.. when i got new notebooks and pencils i just wanted to write.. and i wrote many poems and stories that first week or 2 of school
Every year my mom would buy me a brand new outfit for the first day of school. This was always so exciting, as new clothes were a luxury.

Every year after the first day of school my mom would have some sort of great treat ready for us when we got home. We would sit around and eat and talk about our first day back.

The smells are my favorite memories! School glue, crayons and new book smells! I always remember looking in the front of used books to see who had used them previously.( We were thrilled when we got a book used by a high school jock!) LOL Silly girls!

My father used to get us to the school bus stop with no hesitation because he would chase us and tell us he would kiss us in front of all the kids. We were always in such a hurry to get on that bus. All the kids loved him

I always loved going back to school. A week later...not so much. :)
i can remember just being so excited about buying new clothes and getting my supplies together right before the first day of school.
i was a girly girl and my favorite memory is getting all my new tights to match my new outfits
My memory was always setting out the new clothes for the next day. Trying to chose exactly what I was going to wear was always what i looked forward to.

My favorite memory was just the smell of the school when I walked in, when I take my kids to school it still has the same smell.
I remember missing the bus my first day of school and having to walk to my mothers work alone!
I love our family tradition of going out for ice cream on the first day.
My favorite memory is of the first day of middle school when I met the classmates I'd be with for the next seven years! It feels strange looking back now.
I always remember the 6 stacks of new clothes and shoes my parents had waiting for my siblings and I to start school.

I loved school. I was smart and it was better than camp for me. I grew up in foster care so I was sent to a camp for rich kids. Being a foster kid made me the odd man out. In school I was smart and people that needed help came to me.
I remember picking out my first day of school ensemble for kindergarten. Mom wanted me to wear a fancy dress, but I convinced her to let me wear an orange jumper instead. I was afraid the other kids wouldn't be wearing "fancy" clothes.

I enjoyed shopping for my school books.
My favorite ones are the last two days. It's nice to see my children so excited over the littlest school things.
I always loved the smell of the very first day. All of the new school supplies, the smell of the school, everything.

I loved getting new clothes for school. Shopping was fun, but school itself was kind of yuck by high school, not the learning but rather the people.
my favorite memory was starting school and waving goodbye to my mom, I was so grown up and brave-ready to face the world and meet lots of new friends. I also helped to comfort my new little friends who spent the day endlessly sobbing by patting their backs and telling them it would be ok. And for the boy that ate that yucky white paste, well I brought him some water to wash it down with ;)

My favorite back to school memory is when I started 6th grade (first time to go to Middle School). I had just gotten a cast on my right leg. So, not only was I learning to change classes (7 different classes each day), but I was also learning how to use crutches. :)

The best part about going back to school for me, was the shopping for clothes just beforehand! I hated school, lol.
I remember going back to school to a new school in my 9th grade year. I thought I was doomed because we moved and I would know absoulty nobody. The first day of school I found out that my very best friend moved into that district and was in 4 classes with me! (She was being sneaky, keeping it a suprise!) I was psyched!!

My best back to school memory is the year my sister entered her Freshmand year at high school as I entered my Senior year. It was the first time since grade school that we'd gone to the same school. I adore my little sister and it was great being able to see her at school and to show her the ropes. Thanks!

I can remember the cold Minnesota mornings and having a bowl of hot Cream of Wheat before school. Then the long cold walk to school and getting there, and it taking a long time to warm up.
I remember 4th grade and hoping my best friend would be in my class and was so excited when she was.
My favorite memory was when all of my kids got on the bus together for the first time.
My favorite back to school memory happened every year of school through high school. On the first day after I came home, my mom had homemade cinnamon rolls baking in the oven.

My first day of high school, someone stepped on the bottom of my pants and they fell down in the main hallway! I was horrified at the time but now I think it's hillarious! :)

Mine was my daughters first day ever of school. But that didnt work out so I home school her now. Its really hard to send your child to a public school when the teacher is telling them NOT to tell their parents things.
