Tradition in the northern hemisphere says that school starts during the week after Labour Day. Here we are. In most school boards across the province, yesterday was actually the first day of classes for elementary and high school students, and university lectures also begin this week. Students in the Sudbury Catholic District School Board hit the books this morning. Having attended a Professional Activity day yesterday, teachers and support staff welcome their new recruits and returning children today.
Thus begins what will be a series of months of learning for all involved. What wisdom will be discovered? What experiences will be lived? Who will be there to inspire these youngsters? Who will walk beside them, helping them to overcome challenges and take advantage of opportunities that are yet to be discovered.
Just a few weeks ago, I offered some other musings on the subject of teachers and students. Check them out; they may inspire just a bit of fun, imagination and who knows what other surprises.

Wishing all students and teachers a wonderful year filled with numerous exciting learning experiences. May both students and adults also take the time to learn about each other and appreciate the many gifts they have been given to share with others.
