Back To School 2008-2009 Dates

New posts
drum roll.........for the first time in 24 years, I have no one going to school this Fall! :eek:

But, I am going to sowal! :biggrin:
 
Those of us up north don't go back to school until after labor day so we LOVE coming to SoWal in August when it's quiet and we get to hang out in SoWal without traffic, crowds, etc. And the pool and ocean water is heavenly. So we'll be there very soon...

When do SoWaller kids go back to school?
 
Some West TN schools that went to year round, went back last week.

Memphis area schools start Monday.
 
Sowal schools start August 18th....Here is my plan: I'm stopping at Emerald Coast Middle and pushing the first one out the door, cruising past South Walton High and slowing down so the second one can jump out...THEN I AM GOING TO THE BEACH!!!!!!!!

For 13 years I have taken off the first day of school, got them out the door, cleaned the house until 10am to get rid of a summer's worth of kid funk and then headed out to do something fun on my own. Usually it is mountain biking but now that I am here I think me, a kayak, the beach, and maybe an adult beverage or two!!!!

I like the way you think! We should start a first day of school sowal beach outing.
 
"We should start a first day of school sowal beach outing."


If we all got together, I worry that no one would be in any condition to pick up the kids. We need to hire a nanny!!!!!
 
Remember to be kind to your teacher friends and support staff tomorrow. I know a number of staff that are starting work tomorrow, August 14, and have to get up around 5:30 a.m. after a summer of sleeping in and hanging out at the beach.
